PRODUCE

Messrs. Dalgety and Co. report as follows : —

Wo he.ld our usual weekly auction sale of grain and produce at our stores on Monday, when we offered a representative catalogue to a good attendance of buyers. Competition throughout was fairly good, and the bulk of the catalogue was cleared at auction and privately at valuation. Values ruled as under : —

Oats. — The market is quiet and, if anything, a shade easier than last week, many buyers not being prepared to go on at late values. Shipping inquiry is not animated. We quote : Prime milling, Is ud ; good to best feed, Is 4d to Is 4£d; inferior and medium, Is 2d to Is 3*d per bushel (sacks extra).

Wheat. — Our latest London advices report a very firm market. Millers now carry fair stocks and are not overanxious bxiyers at the moment at the figures asked by holders, many of whom now want 4s net at their stations. Fowl wheat has moderate inquiry locally. We quote : Prime milling, 3s lOd to 4s on trucks country stations; best whole fowl wheat, 3s 6d to 3s 8d; medium fowl whoat, 3s 3d to 3s sd; broken and damaged, 2s 6d to 3s.
