Fortunately, farmers have been wiser with regard to their oatß than iv wheat, and the heavy shipments of the former to Victoria and Hew South Wales in the early part of the season have left us with comparatively Bmall stooks on hand, a further reduction of which, however, we think would be advisable, should oppor tunity offer, during the next two months; even although this has to be done at slightly lower prices. We quote prime milling at 2s 8d to 2s BJd, sacks extra; bright stout feed, 2s 5d to 2s 6d; inferior to meilium, 2s 3d to 2s 4d, Backs extra (ex store.) Barley.—ln this cereal there is even less doing than in wheat and oats, the samples to hand being chiefly of second-rate class, and thus affords no temptation to buyers, who, under any circumstances, are very indifferent as to purchasing. Anything specially prime might be moved off at about 3s 6d per bushel, but other descriptions are unsaleable un lesß at priceß very little batter than what Buch lines are worth for milling. Nominal quotations for 6uch are 3s to 3s 4d; good milling, 2s to 2s lOd, ex store, sacks extra. Grass Sead.—ln tills a steady business has been done during the week, orders arriving more freely, though not sufficiently bo either in number or extent to cause any excitement in the market. There is, however, a good month before us yet in which to clear out the stocks on hand, and by that time we are of opinion that there. will be very little left. Local grown maohine-dressedmay be quoted at 4s 3d to 4b 9d; nndressed. 3s to 4s; Poverty Bay, of which there is very little In the market, 5s to 6s 6d. Cocksfoot.—Advices from Canterbury report con siderable quantities as being held by the growers of Banks Peninsula, and as this can be shipped direct from Akaraa to Dunedin at a comparatively low rate, there is no probability of oat running Bhort of the same this season. During the paßt week several purchases have been made from there, which enable buyers here to quote at from 3|d to 4d per lb, and these are about the current races for good seed at present. Potatoes.—The potato market remains still with out any alteration.
