Grain and Produce.

The following is the Christchurch Com Exchange Report for October 8 .-—Wheat— A better inquiry during *he week for whole fowl wheat slightly sprung, and we regret we have seen several very good lines passed out at 2s to 2s 2d f.o.b. This is a fair index of what our damaged wheat is worth. The weather has seriously interfered with spring sowing, and if we get fine weather it will be some time before the land can be got at. A number of fanners who sowed early have had their lands flooded, the seed rotten, and all their work to do ovei- again. Barley - Nothing doing. Oats—Very little demand and few offering, so sellers and buyers are square; prices perhaps easier. Ryjegrass— Heavy seed sells fairly well s but lighter sorts are hard to place, though a late authority tells us " the popular idea that a first year's crop is not perennial is a pure fiction." Quotations as follows:—Wheat, whole sprouted, 2s to 2s 2cl; sound milling, 3s 4d. Barley, feed, Is 9d to 2s 6d. Oats, eed, Is 7d to Is 9d; milling, Is lid to 2a. Potatoes, farmers do not care to sell below 9s to 10s at stations, and the quantity pass ing at the price is small—very. Peas, 2s 6d to 3s. Beans, 3s to 3s 3d. Ryegrass, too much farmers' offering, town dressed, 3s to 3s 6d. Butter, farmers', 8d to 9d; factory, lid. Cheese, 3d to sd. The above are prices paid to farmers f.o.b. ; packages extra.

We clip the following important testimo nial from the "II lawarra Mercury" (N.S, W.) of j the 30th March. It needs no comment: — Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons' . Euealyptic Extract. He says :—" Seeing the said Extract advertised m the 'Illawarrn Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Ilosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between 10th March inst., when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract <i cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the ' Mercury.' We have much pleasure m complying with Mr Loveday s request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object m view other than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity.
