Messrs. Donald Reid and Co., report hr follows :—: — Oats — Good to prime feed and milling: command most attention, and are saleable at late values. Medium and inferior sorts are

not in request, and are difficult to place. We quote : Prime milling, Is 6£d to Is 7d ; good to best feed. Is 5d to Is 6Jd ; inferior to medium, Is 3d to Is 5d per bushel (sacks extra). Whevt.— Prime quality | is in moat favor with millers, but medium Borts are in some demand at late quotations. Fowl wheat is scarce and is a shade firmer. We quote : Prime milling, 2a 6d to 2s 7d ; medium to good, 2s 3d to 2s 5d ; whole fowl wheat, 2s to 2a 2d ; broken and dama?ed, Is 8d to Is lid per bushel (sacks in). Potatoes— Supplies have been moderate, and all offered at oar sale to-day met good competitiou. Best Derwents sold at L 4 15s to L 5 5s ; kidneys, L 4 10s to L 5 per ton (sacks in). Chaff— The market has been fully supplied, and in consequence values have suffered slightly. A few choice lots have been placed at L 2 15s, but, in order to effect a clearance most of the good oaten sheaf coming forward has been quitted at L 2 10s to L 2 12s 6d • medium to good, L 2 to L 2 7s 6d per ton (bags extra)
