CHRISTCHURCH.
January 19. The weather continues very hot, and the drought is so protracted that the crops have been seriously injured. The grass feed has all been burned up. During 1871, one hundred and eleven new artesian wells were sunk in Christchurch, making a total in the city of 629. Owing to harvest, transactions in breadstuffs arc limited, and quotations are unaltered. No new wheat lias yet been offered. At the beginning of the week new oats moved freely at 25., but they have since declined to Is 9d, Is lOd, and Is 2d. Provisions are unaltered.
