FROM THE LYTTELTON TIMES.
Christchurch, Friday Evening
A fair trade has been passing in the import markets during the past week, but there has been lacking that activity which was apparent during the early part of the month. Confidence is being gradually restored, and crodit is far more elastic than for many months. But there is no likelihood of careless trading resulting therefrom, as morohants continue to exercise considerable caution in tbe execution of orders—especially such as are received irom the country.
The export of wheat continues on a liberal scale, yet not so satisfactorily as could be desired, owing to tbe scarcity of tonnage. It is computed that 30,000 sacks are in store awaiting shipment. The Stracathro and Buttermere are full ships, and the Nebo nearly so. Exclusive of the cargoes in these vessels, tho exports up to the present amount to 256,000 sacks to the United Kingdom alone.
