SOUTHERN GR ATX AXD PRODUCE Ohristclmrch, Dec. 12. The action of the Government in iving the duly taken off importeJ flour lias brought the wheat and flour trade almost to a standstill. One oi the fiii?t results was to increase the offering of wheat by growers, and fovora! lines of Hunters and Tuscan have changed hands at 5s 6d at country stations hut millers and merchants su'o now not offering this price. In view of the conference of wheat growfiv; to be held on Thursday, and the fact.that a certain proposal is to be put forward by the Minister, millers are not inclined to make further purchases, or would probably not offer more than 5s at country stations. auimiraro
