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

Tho catalogue submitted comprised nearly all classes of produce, and under fair competition from a full' attendance of buyers mofit of tho lines on offer were cleared at aluiitions.

Oats- — There is no change to report, sales being confined for the most part to small lines for local use We quote Seed lines, 2s 7d to 2s lOd , pume Milling, 2s ,*>J to 2s GJd , good to best feed 2s 3>}d to 2b 5d , medium, 2s to 2s 3d pen bushel (sacks extra)

Wheat — Prime nulling sorts alonei command the attention of millers, modium quality being neglected Fowl wheat js offering more plentifully, but meets with fair sale at quotations. We quote Prime' milling, 3s lOd to 4s 3d ; medium, 3.s 3d to 3s 9d , whole fowl wheat, 2s) lid to 3s Id ; broken and damaged, 2s 6d to 2s 9d per bushel (sacks extra) .

Potatoes — Local stocks are more, than sufficient to supply present requinenients, and only best sorts are readily saleable We quote Best) Derwents, £2 15s to £3 , medium. £2 to £2 10s per ton (sacks m),

Chaff — Prime oaten sheaf is arriMng steadily and icadily finds buyers. Medium is m over-supply and not m favor, while mferion qual-i lty is also difficult to place. We quote : Best oaten sheaf, £4 to £4 3 0s , medium to good, £3 5s to £3 15s , inferior and light, £2 5s to £3 per ton (bags extra)
