Messrs. Donald Reid and Co. (Limited) report :— We held our weekly aiictiofo sale of grain and produce at our stores on Monday. Oats, hay, and turnips met with only moderate competition, but for fowl wheat, potatoes, and chaff there was a good demand at prices fully actual to and in some cases a shade above late quotations. Values ruled as under :—

„ _ Oats -— Arrivals durin S ttte Pa s t week have been light. The demand for export is not quite so strong, •but nearly all lines of good feed quality find buyers locally tat late quotations. Prime milling are in fair demand, ami choice seed lines now attract more attention. We quote : Special seed lots, 2s to 2s 3d ; good do, ls> ad to 2s 1 ; prime milling, is 8&d to Is 9d • good to best feed, Is 7ijd to Is 8d ; inferior -to medium Is 5d to Is 6£d per bushel (sacks extra). Whelat.— A small business is being done locally 1 , chiefly in lines of prime Tuscan and red wheat. Millers are fairly well stocked with other sorts, and are not disposed to operate freely. Fowl wheat is scarce and in strong demand. We q*uote : Seed lines, 3s 3d to 3s 6d ■; prime milling, 3s to 3s 3d ; medium to good, 2s lOd to 3s ; whole fowl wheat, 2s 8d to 2s 9|d ; broken and damaged, 2s 4a to 2s 7d per bushel (sacks extra). Potatoes.— This market has boen moderately supplied, and good to prime Derwents now meet with improved demand. There is also strong inquiry for choice lines of white potatoes for- seed purposes We quoteBest Derwents, £7 to £7 10s; medium, £6 10s to £6 15s ; special seed linos of while potatoes, £7 10s to £7 15s ; good do, £7 to £7 10s ; imedium, £6 to £6 15s per ton (sacks in).

Chaff-r-During the past few days the market has been well supplied with chaff of good to prime quality, for which there is ready sale. Medium light and discolored lots are out of favor with buyers, and cannot be readily placed. We quote : Best oaten sheaf, £3 to £3 2s 6d ; extua heavy,, to £3 5s ; medium to good, £2 12s 6d to £2 17s Gd ; light and discolored £2 5s to £2 10s per ton (bags extra). Pressed Straw.— Moderate supplies continue to arrive to a fairly good market. We quote : Best oaten, 32s 6d ; wheaten, 27s 6d to 30s per ton. Hay.— Prime clover and ryegrass is' saleable at £2 15s to £3, but ordinary quality, which is offering freely, lias little attention, and is difficult to place at £2 5s to £2 12s 6d per ton. Turnips.— .Market fully supplied to-day. Best swedes sold at from 11s to 12s per ton (loose ex truck).
