COMMERCIAL.
Grey River A Rons Office, Friday evening. The amount of revenue received at the Custom House on goods passed for home consumption on Thursday and Friday, July 2 and 3, was £283 Os 4d. Christchuch. — The grain market is tbusrepoted upon by the Lyttelton Times of the 27th inst, : — Very little business has been transacted in cereals during the past week, which may, however, be accounted for to a considerable extent by the wretched andalmost impassable state of the roads in the agricultural districts 1 , The favourable nature of foreign advices for breadstuff's maintains the firmness of wheat, and 7s is now freely offered, whilst as high as 7s 3d has been given. Oats are moving freely at 2s to 2s 3d ; but barley still exhibits a tendency to decline. The home consumption is evidently fully supplied, and no inducement offers foi exportation. We quote barley at 3s 8d to 4s, with poor demand , Flour is scarcely so brisk as last week, but a steady trade is still doing. A very decided improvement was perceptible in the demand for bran and sharps on Thursday, but no alteration iv price is noticeable.
