CHRISTCHURCH CORN EXCHANGE.
The Corn Exchange reports for the week ending Eriday evening, the sth inst.: —
The week’s transactions in wheat have been particularly maagre, Outside values give no encouragement for speculation, and holders are not caring to force their produce upon so unfavourable a market. Slight shipments are still going forward to Sydney, chiefly for completion of early contracts entered into. The only disposition evinced to purchase for Home shipment, is where the quality is not first class aud the price is low. The oat market has hardened and it is now more easy to do business at quotation* than it was last week. Local buyers are competing in order to replenish their stocks, which are becoming low. Melbourne has a firm market in spite of the large supplies that went forward last month. Sellers are firm in their demands for prices equal to our highest quotations. Barley has had a quiet week. Shipments have fallen off, awaiting further advice from Victoria, Local requirements are fairly well supplied for the time being. Beans and peas have a fairly good business passing. Grass seed remains firm at our prices, as also does cocksfoot for really prime heavy seed fit for London. Potatoes have hardened considerably, caused chiefly by the growers having them all in pit and not caring to quote. Shipments to date are small as compared with previous years. Dairy produce remains dull in exporting parcels; locally the retail trade is fairly brisk. Our quotations for the week are as follow; Wheat —Tuscan 3s 6d to 3s 8d; pearl, 3s 4d to 8s fid; hunters, 3s 3d to 8a 4d; whole chick, 3s; broken, 2s 8d to 2s 9d.
