CHRISTCHURCH CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Corn Exchange report (per G. S. Hickman secretary), for the week ending September 22nd : After the late rains farmers will now appreciate, and no doubt take advantage of, the present beautiful weather. What is wanted is a continuation of warm sunny weather to promote the growth of crops and grass. The European wheat market, although looking a little brighter by last advices, does not, however, show much change in prices, and locally there is little or nothing doing. Uertainly no increase has taken place m favour of sellers. Oats remain about the same as last week, little or no improvement being noticeable, and prices unchanged. Barley seems to be out of the market, no transactions except a few small lines for feed purposes. Peas and beans—None offering ; therefore prices are merely nomiual. Ryegrass and cocksfoot —Seasou nearly, if not quite, at an end. Potatoes. —Very few offering, and prices remain about the same as quoted last week.
