Commercial ■ ' * :. SOUrHiiRK GRAIN AMD PRODUCE MARKET. Ghristchurch, June 2U. The grain market remains quiet, there, being little business doing and no changes to note. Those merchants who have made sales of potatoes to Australia are obtaining permits to till the contracts entered into, but further shipments will be prohibited, in the meantime there is no . business doing with growers. The nominal price is £5 to £o 5e at country stations, but there are no sellers. The North Island is still refraining l'roip making any offers, and local business is therefore suspended. It is reported that crops now being dug are not turning ouit too well, probably having been affected iby the recent severe frosts. Onions are a little lirnier, and are now quoted at JL'3 to £3 us at country stations. HIGH COMMISSIONER'S REPORT. London, June 20.
