Christchurch, May 15.

The wheat market remains quiet, but firm, especially for Hunter's and Pearl, there not being quite so much inquiry -for Tuscan. There is very little grain offering, and sales are few at present. There is no change in the oats market, the tendency, howeVer, being rather weaker, though prices remain without alteration. Malting barley is very I dull of sale, there being no demand whatever at present, and it is difficult to say what the real value is. The potato market has further weakened. Buyers are now giving only c £3 at country stations and they are now keen t'o make purchases, even at that figure, though a good deal of business has been done during the week on that basis.
