CHRISTCHURCH COMMERCIAL.
The Lyttelton Times of 24th ult. reports as follows : — " The general dulness of trade, and the unsettled weather hare produced an unfavorable eii\ ct on the market. The farmers are engaged in various occupations on their lands, and besides, the foggy weather causes the wheat to be so damp that otherwise intending buyers decline to 'effect large purchases. Wheat may be quoted at last week's prices, viz. : — 10s. to 10s. 6d. per bushel. Barley is still nominally os. per bushel, and oats 3s. to 3s. 6d., but the transactions in both these articles are extremely limited. Flour still rules at £30 to £30 10s. per ton ("wholesale), and 325. 6d. per 100 lbs. (retail). There has been absolutely nothing done in either bran, sharps, peas, or maize, Hay is still plentiful and realizes, about £4 per ton. Potatoes are rather cheaper ; they fetch from £10 to £10 10s. per ton. (retail). We have no alteration to report in the price of the miscellaneous articles of consumption." .
