CHRISTCHURCH CORN EXCHANGE.

The Cbrn Exchange report for the | week ending Friday evening, the 15th inst:— The prospect of the grain market during the week, though quiet, shows a slight improvement on the preceding. Wheat, of good sound milling quality, more especially Hunter's and pearl, meets with a little better inquiry for local consump tion, while Tuscan is coming into request for seed purposes.

"Rye grass, clean parcels, command a ready sale.
