CORN EXCHANGE
The following ia the Corn Exohnngo report for the week ending Friday, Uth lnst :— Deliveries o£ gram m Lyttelton continue largo, but the sample reports are not bo favorable as could be wished, although an improvement m the condition of wheat is noticeable. Those who have not already arranged for sack 9 exporienco some difficulty m getting their supply, and the arrival of the Sir Bobert Fale is anxionsly looked forwarl to by those interested. The unaltered values of Now Zealand wheat, as cabled by Renter, ecom to point to an absence of our wheat m the London market, consequently buyers have to base their calculations on prices of Australian lines, which by yesterday's cablegrams we were plowed to note wore a little more reassuring, From Australia there is little change to report; Wheat.— Larger qunntitities aro now changing hands on the basis of last wcek'B quotation?, viz., 8b 4£d for Tuscan, and 3s 3d to 3s 3£d for Hunter's and Ponrl, Second quality is not m favor at 33 to 3a 2d. Chicken wheat is locally wanted at 2s fid to 2a 9d. Oats. —A. fair shipping business is being done m heavy bright feed," at Is 9d to Is 9£d ; but long descriptions an! inferior kinds are hard to quit at la 7d to Is Bd. Barloy — But few specimens of prime malting are coming to hand. Second quaUty and lots are offering, but few lines meet with buyers. Quotations — Prime malting, 3s 3d to 3s 6d ; second quality, 2s 8d to 2s lOd ; feed, 2s to 2a 3d Peas —Blue Prussians are being sold at 3s 3d ; other kinds and beans are not m demand, Grass Seed — But few outside orders are coming to hand, and local speculation is at a standstill. Prices nominally remain at last week's quotations. Machine dressed is quoted at 3s 6d to 3s 9d ; farmers' parcels vary from 2s 3d to 3s. Cocksfoot is very quiet. Few sales are being made, for orders only, at 3^d to 3Jd for heavy seod, but inferior and dark seed is hard to place at 3d Dairy produce still remains dull, and sales of butter are difficult to make at 5d to 6d Cheese is worth 4d to sd, according to size and quality.
The above quotations are those paid to farmers, and delivered f.o.b. Nt Ly ttelton, sacks extra.
