CHRISTCHURCH CORN EXCHANGE,
The Corn Exchange reports for the week ending Friday evening, the 30th inst. :
We have but little change to note in either the grain or produce markets. Shipments are contracted and local requirements are supplied far beyond their wants. The Home markets continue to decline as regards wheat, which leaves us with little hope of the present prices being maintained, even should freights become yet more favorable to would-bf> shippers. The Australians’ wants are also restricted for wheat, oats, and firm produce. Wheat — A few lines have been placed for local requirements, but for shipping the market is at a standstill. We quote tuscan and pearl weak at 3s s>l to 3s fid; hunters’ at 3s 4d ; second quality is chiefly taken for chicken wheat 3s to 3s 2d ; and broken is scarce at 2s 8d to 2s lOd.
Oats—Milling lines are not over plentiful, and prime parcels wonid meet with purchasers at Is lid ; short heavy feed are moving off at Is 9d tola lOd, but long descriptions are neglected at the present at ls7d to lsßd.
Barley —No prime malting lines are offering; second quality is in small compass, and is worth 3s 31 to 3s 9d; af iw seed lots' are being placed at 5s for extra choice lots.
are pretty well out of stock ; any offering are worth 3s 3d. Peas—Prussian b ues are quiet at 3* 3d, and feed lots are selling at 2s 9d to 2s lOd.
Grass S eds—Sdes are being made in small lots at 3s 34 for machine-dressed lines, but farmers’ parcels are almost entirely neglected, and is nominally worth Is 91 to 2a 9d. Cocksfoot is in small compass, and is worth to 4£d for well cleaned seed, and 3id for foggy and inferior lots.
Potatoes—There has been a disposition to do business in the tubers at the low price of 10s at country stations, but we fancy the demand is only temporary. Dairy produce is entirely without enquiry, and any reasonable price would be accepted for either butter or cheeae. The above quotations are for delivery f.0.b,, Lyttelton.
