CiiKisTcmmcH, This clay. Our own correspondent writes : One line of 4000 bushels of wheat, a good sample, has been placed at 4s, delivered in Christchurch. 4s Id has been offered for a superior sample. Several samples of rather inferior barley have been offered, for which 4s was asked by the sellers. Buyers, only give up to 13s lOd. Oats range from Is -Id to Is 6d for superior samples, llye grass, outside sales best samples, 2s (5d per bushel; Cocksfoot, 2d to 2fd per lb. There is hardly anything doing in grass seed.
