CANTERBURY GRAIN MARKET.
Private advices from Wellington state that some Canterbury flour recently sold there at £30 per ton. This figure, notwithstanding the prices quoted in the Wellington papers, could scarcely be depended upon for further exports. Gooil samples of wheat were sold at the market in Christchurch, last Saturday, at 7s 3d. per bushel. Fine qualities were offered freely by the farmers at Bs. There was a further decline in the price of flour, which was sold for £27 per ton. We hear that the Captain of the Spray, is open to buy wheat, if he can do so at a price to pay for exportation.
