FROM THE LYTTELTON TIMES. Christchurch, Friday Evening. GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Business during the week has not been marked by any improvement, and transactions have not been extensive. The continued dry weather is being severely felt in -some districts, and a downfall of rain for a short time is very much wanted.
Oats.—A few trifling transactions have taken place at 3s lid to 4s Id for feeding quality ; milling, at 4s 2d. The quotation f .0.b., is 4s 3d to 4s 4d.
Potatoes. —Small lots are being sold at last week's quotations. Fl om ..—We hear of little business; the enquiry being of the scantiest nature. Prices remain about the same, viz., £9 to £10.
Dairy Produce.—Butter is coming in freely, and prices are easier. Wβ quote 8d to 9d ; cheese is unaltered, hams and bacon 7£d to Bd.
