CANTERBURY COMMERCIAL.
The Lyttleton Times has the following report of the Canterbury grain market : — The supply of grain througout the week has been moderate, but a continuance of the present fine weather will very soon amply stock our market with all descriptions of farm produce. The harvest generally is now nearly through, and during the past week a considerable breadth of grain has been stacked in good order. What now remain uncut are the late sown crops, which, from the rains, are heavy, and will probably be saved in good condition. Wheat, from the great difference in samples, arising from sprouted grain, ranges in price from 4s 6d to 6s 6d per bushel. Oots are coming to hand more freely ; as yet we have heard of no large purchases, the market rates are now from 3s 3d to 4s, the samples varping so much in quality and condition. Barley may be quoted at from 5s to 6s— very little to hand. Hay maintains our last quotations, viz., from £4 to £4 10s, delivered in town. The price of flour is unchanged; superfine Canterbury, £20 j bran, £7 to £8. . ♦
