NORTH CANTERBURY CROPS.
A LARGE YIELD EXPECTED. Christchurch, Dee. 14. Reports to hand on the condition of the grain crops in various parts of North Canterbury are generally very satisfactory, and the lato rains are expected to cause considerable improvement. The yield of grain and oats, it is thought, will he much larger than was at first expected, on account of paddocks that were sown for green feet not being required for that purpose, and the crops will now be harvested.
There is no business doing in the grain market. Efforts that were made a few weel<R back to establish forward business in the new oats crops have met with very little response. The experience of the past two years shows that the consumption of oats is very nmcli less than it was; in fact, this last ypar there was only, about one half the usual requirements available, though no doubl the norma] consumption would lie more t!:an s ix million bushels if supplies were available and prices reasonable.
