COMMERCIAL.
•m i i The following is the Christchurch Corn Exchange report for the week ending Friday evening, the 10th instant : — The most notable feature of the week is the reported rise in the value of wheat in the Home markets. This is undoubtedly good news for the farming community, us a large proportion of that exported this year is on growers' account. -4 Notwithstanding this increased value at home, prices locally are at present not much affected (beyond giving a firmer tone to the market). This is to be accounted for from the fact that the millers are well-stocked. Business during the week has been on the whole brisker, some large parcels of wheat having changed hands for shipment. — Wheat : Good sound milling is worth from 4s to 43 3J f.0.b., second samples, 3s 61 to 43 f.o.b. ; chick wheat, 2* 61 to 3s, delivered in Chriatchurch. — Oats : The market is without change, but although little or no business is being transacted, holders are firm in their demands.
