Messrs. Donald K^d and Co. (Ltd.) report:— We held our weekly auction sale of grain and produce at our stores oi Monday, when we submitted a full c/atalogue to a gocd attendance of buyers, and as

there was fair competition nearly all on offer was cleared at satisfactory prices. Values ruled as under :—: — Oats.— There is good local demand - for all prime lines, but in sympathy with -reduced ' .quotations at sojuthern stations prices for ordinary- feed lines are somewliat easier. Seed duns, clean and' plump, c have good inquiry. 'Quotations : Prime milling, 2s 6^d to 2s 7d ; best seed, 2s &d to 2s 6£d ; medium to inferior, 2s 4d to 2s sgd per bushel (sacks extra). Wheat. — For milling/ lines the market is, firm at late quotations. Prime samples, chiefly velvet, "are inmost request, b.ut " all sorts have more attention. , Fowl wheat, although offering freely, is 'readily taken at late values. • Quotations ': Prime milling, 3s s£d' to 3s 6d; medium to good, 3s 4|d to 3s 5d ; whole fowl wheat, 3s 3d to 3s 4d ; broken and damaged, '3s to 3s 2d per bushel (Sacks extra).
