Messrs. Donald Reid and Co. report as follows :—

Oats — We submitted a small catalogue of medium to good feed oats. The attendance of buyers was limi'ed, and as bidding in most cases was not up to our valuations, the bulk of the catalogue was passed in. There is a steady demand for export at prices on a par with late quotations. We quote : Prime milling, to 2-s Id ; good to best feed, 2s to 2a Q\ 1 ; medium to good, Is lOd to Is 11 Jd per bushel (sacks extra). Wheat— Prime velvet and Tuscan is in fair demand at 2s 5d to 2s (id ; medium quality, dull at 2s 3d to 2s 4d ; good whole fowl wheat is saleable at 2s to 2s 2d ; broken and damp, at Is 9d to Is lid per bushel (sacks in). Potatoes — We offered only mtdium quality, which sold at L 2 10s per ton (bags in). Chaff — The demand is still confined to prime oaten sheaf, nther sorts being almost neglected. We quote : Bet-t oaten sheaf, \/,\ to 32sGd ; fair to good, L 2 10s to L 2 1 5a , medium and inferior, \/2 to L 2 7s 6d per ton (bags extra).
