CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 12. The dullness in the market continues, even potatoes, for the time being at all events, moving very slowly. Nevertheless, there is a feeling in some quarters that a hardening in the course of a fortnight or so is quite probable. It is undoubted that the yield this season has been light on account of the dry season. Sales for northern coastal ports per the Corinna, l' 1 lor a and Opihi have been made at up to £5 10s f.o.b. sacks in, and October quotations are at £5 ss. The Wahaka the other day took a very small consignment of 800 sacks for Auckland, and the Wingatui is due to leave early week. Farmers at the moment are being offered up to £5 5s on trucks for whites.

Oats occasioned slight interest during the week. Chaff is keeping firm. Cowgrass has been the most active of the seed lines, and good samples are Partridge peas have also brightened, and 7d a bushel f.o.b. sacks in has been paid. Linseed has been sold in several cases at £l9 10s to £2O a ton f.o.b. sacks in, the market having improved. AUCKLAND SHARE MARKETAUCKLAND, Sept. 12.
