Messrs. Donald Reid and Co. (Ltd.) report:— We held our weekly auction sale of grain and produce at our stores on Monday. The c was a full at--tendance of buyers, who competed well ""for all suitable lines of • fowl wheat, potatoes, and chaff. Prices, for those lines, were well maintained, but for oats, turnips, and straw the demand was slack. Values ruled as under': — * Oats.— ln sympathy with lower values at v the Bluff the local demand is ea&.er. Prime light Gartons arein most favor with shippers, and we have also in-" q.uiry for good seed Tartars. Quotations : Prime- milling, 2s 6d to 2s 6£d ; good to best feed, 2s 5d to • -£fe 6d ; inferior and medium,-"- 2s 3d to -'2s 4|d per bushel (sacks extra). Wheat. — The quantity on offer is small. All lines of good to prime milling quality are- readily quitted^ on arrival. Medium grades are not so much favored, but are more saleable than they have been. There is good local demand for whole fowl wheat, for which values - are maintained. Quotations : Prime milling, 3$ 5-|d to 3s 6d ; medium to goad, 3s 4d to 3s 5d ; whole fowl wheat, 3s 3d to 3s 4d ; broken and damaged, 3s to 3s. 2d-"per bushel Csac'ks extra). Potatoes.— For Monday's sale we had a fair selection—prime, clean Up-to-Dates, ripe, and free from disease, having most attention, with good competition. Medium quality and stale or badly-shaped potatoes were difficult to place. Quotations : Prime sorts r £5 to "£5 7s Gd ; choice to £5 15s ; medium to good, £4 5s to £4 Iss ; inferior and stale; £3 5s to £3 15s per ton (bags included). „ Chaff. —The market continues to be fairly .well supplied. Prime bright oaten sheaf still has the preference, and for this class- values are unchanged. Medium quality is not easily sold, and straw chaff is at preent in over-supply. Quotations : Prime oaten sheaf, £4 '15s to £5; medium to "good, £4 'to £4 10s- inferio-, £3 10s to £3 15s ; straw chaff, £3 10s to £3 per ton (bags" extras Turnips.— These are offering more freely and at slightly reduced prices, Quotations': Best swedes, £1 7s 6d to £1 19s ; bagged (bags included).
