THE PRICE OF OATS.
Judging by reports which arc coming to hand (says the Timaru Herald '), oats are still rising m price. A sale is reported of a large line on trucks at Seadown at 2s 2d per bushel, 801 b bags supplied ; and of a line of prime milling oats at 2s 4d per bushel on trucks at Otaio. The farmer who informed us of this sale added that buyers are chasing growers all over the paddocks, and are offering 2s l£d to 2s 2d, according to sample, delivery second week in April. In fa.cc of the eagerness shown by buyers, the large growers are holding on. The yield of oats in the Otaio district is excellent this year, and the mill has shown returns up to 97 bushels per acre. The sample in the majority of cases is exceptionally good.
