NEW ZEALAND MARKETS.

Tun N.Z.L. and M.A. Company, (Limited), reported wilder date, Christchuich, November, Gth :—: — Woor,.— Our latest dates from London are to 12th September, up'to which date 280,277 bales bud been catalogued onibiaemg f).5,7.">0 of New Zealand growth. Tlie tone of tlio market was satisfactory ; and reports from tho manufacturing centres weie of encouraging nature. The final sales of the year commence on 11th inst., in which a good deal ofintoiost iscontied, in view of the no.tr approachofloc.il sales in the various markets of New Zealand. Dunt.diN.— ln tin* market no business boyond the bale of a few bales (fcllmongoiV lot*-) is being done. Prcpaiations for shearing are now being mide, but owing to a continuation of wet cold weathor our flocks inland have not made the Piogiess necesbaiy for an early shearing. We notice that in the earlier districts a commencement is nude amongst paddock sheep, but as no wool Ims yet reached store, wo have no comments to make. CuuisrcuußCH.— Shoitly after tho date of our last issue the weather became quite wintiy, and shearing was entirely suspended for a, few days. Fine weather has piovailcd for tho past foitnight, and deliveries into store are now more important. Our opening sale of the season will be held on the 10th inst., when 1000 bales will be catalogued, consisting of greasy and scoured wools in about equal propoition". Auckland : Parcels arriving at port are increasing weekly, and owing to improved ropoits of the Home market, prices are linn. Timaru : A few bales of the new clip havo airived in town, .nid from what we can gather, the bulk will bo above tho average in quality and quantity. Our opening sale will be held early next month, and we aio led to believe that the quantity to be submitted locally this season will be laigely in excess of any previous year. Wellington : Tho broken weather is considerably interfenng with the commencement of sheinng. The clip, although light in giease, piomises to be a good one. Napier : Shearing operations are now in full swing, and wool is beginning to conio in freoly. As yet, howevoi, only a few odd lots have been offered for sale. We hope to present a good catalogue about tho end of the present month. Wang.xnm : Non-> of the new clip has arrived in town. Tho wet weather lias rot.irded sheai mg. GiuiN, — Dnnedin : Dining the past week theie bus been a change fiom the cold wet weather so long expenenced, to warm sunshine with occasional mild growing showers, this has had a most beneficial affect on our e\tiemoly backward spring sown crops, winch aie beginning to look stiong and healthy, promising well foi tho fntnie if the u cither continues favoiuable. Wheat.— The in.uket continues full, and prices aie lecednig. Milleis' requuements in tho meantime aie confined to --mall lots for mixing pin poses, and theie being no buyeis for shipment the businc>s done is of small dimension'". Present quotations for nrnno nulling, nominal ; white velvet and tnscan, 3") to 3/7 ; othei good soi ts, 2!) to 3, 3. We placed at auction and pnvately dining the last week about 4000 bushel-, fowls wheat at 2', 2/3, 2/1, 25, and 2/G eK stoio, bagB weighed in. CHiUsrciiUßCH.— Dm ing the eaily portion of last month tho weather ua a unseasonably cold and tempestuous. Tins checked the glow tli of eiops, and gave them a most backward appeal ance. More genial weather has been enjoyed dm ing the past foilnight, .i'id the crops aie oveiywhere lapidly impioving. Wheat: The unpiecedently low price to which wheat hasieceded in London has pioduced a most deposing effect, not only on the maiket, but on the minds of numeious fanners who have shipped their X>roduce to London under advance ; this anxiety is aggiavated by the fact that the bulk of the shipments made by sailing vessels is l caching Home in a damaged condition. As the pricos now ciuient at Mark Lane for sound who \t cannot letum 3/- f.o.b. to the shipper, it is evident that the letunis yet to be received will average considerably under this hguic_ Under these oneunisfc.inces, itis not surpiising that the aiea in wheat this season is veiy conbideiably cm tailed. A fair enquiry exists foi prime nulling soits at -3s to 3s 3d f.o.b. ; infenor to medium is almost unsaleable, but chick whe.it has had good business at Is 4d to 2s. LvvKiH'AHi.u.r,. — The weather dming the past month has been veiy biokon, and in consequence funnels me still behind-hand •w ltli then spimg woik. The loads being in fair condition for caiting, p.ucels of giain aie now coming foiwaid to town and poil pietty freely. — Wheat.— Business in tins coieal" is all of a most disheaitening cli.v actor. Funnels aie veiy anxious to gel rid of then stocks, the bulk of which, howevei, is of infenor to medium quality, and almost absolutely unsaleable except at ci.ick-feod puces, viz., Is i>d to 2s f o.b. at Blufh Pi line white velvet wlie.it, which is -v ci y scarce, is w oi th 3s 3d per bushel, bags e\tia, deluded in town. Alcki, \vn.— Wheat . — Business is very quiet. Millois h ive an ample supply in hand for immediate lequirements, and consequently shipments from Southern pints aie veiy limited. Last months' quotations are barely maintained. Oats . The maiket has been very animated at times dm nig the month in sympathy with Southern and Austiahan m irkets. l']\piuts have been considerable to Austiahan poits dining the past month, but Luge stocks aie held. Holders aie (inn in expectation of a mutenal advance in lates, but in \ lew of the Lugo supplies on hand this is by no means ceitain. Piospnt qnotatniiis ,uc .is Id fm nulling, and 2-> lOd to 2s 11d foi bnght feed samples. — Bailey. Bu'wei and malt .teis aie fully supplied, and busings is veiy dull. Theie is still a lame quantity of infenor in the maiket. We quote. -Is 3d for best samples. <;i:\s,4 Si i us — Aiciawn : Demand is f.mlv actne, and stocks light.

Oainaiu: The shi[) Mailborough is expected hcie in about a week to load a caigo diawn fiom the New Zealand and Austialiau Land Company's estates. MiiCKLLVNi.oi's.— Auckland : Butter— Pi ices are not so film, and the quantity •which has been coining foiwaid from Taiauaki and Wangamu has made supplies heavy. We note a decline of \d per lb., and now quote 7d to 7 ld for prime. — Cheese. — The fuctoues mo commencing opeiations foi the new season. The maiket is fuuly supplied with last year's produce. Last month's rate ("Sid per lb.) is maintuned. — Potatoes. — At the beginning of the month theie vvas a decided improvement in prices, as high as £G 10s having been quoted. The maiket is, however, now much easier, current values being, say £o 10s per ton.— .Flour.— The market continues dull and inactive. Demand is for consumptive .supply only, and stocks are fairly heavy. We quote £9 10s to £10 10s.— Maue. — The advance ad\ised last month has continued, and enquiry is active, supply falling far short of demand. Present values are from 4s to 4s 3d per bushel.
