CHRISTCHURCH CORN EXCl^^^B The following is the Christchurch TBPPBff change report for the week ended Friday, February 10th, 1893 The weather of the week has been everything to bo desired, and deprived farmers of the old* English privilege of grumbling. Wheat—The price is a hard nut to crack, and what the kernel will turn out is problematical. One thing is certain, it will not be high. The old prime in stock, and the offers of new crop are rapidly approaching each other. Oats — Old feed are still asked for and new milling wanted at quotations. Barley—We have some new season’s offered, but are still looking for the prime malting at 4s. The local samples shown us are very indifferent, though we are told some excellent quality has been offered from Blenheim.
