CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET

The recent cablegrams from Australia have affected the position in wheat, and there .8 a strong disposition on the part of millers to supplement present a'ocks. This is especi ally noticeable in the south, and it is cur rently reported that Otago millers are in such a position that they must purchase largely to keep pace with orders for flour. From South Canberbury comes the news that millers there have 'advanced the price of fiour, and it is more than probable that a still further general advance will shortly have to be recorded. The market for wheat oloses firm with no sellers at prices quoted. There is still an active enquiry for oats, and since last reporb prices have advanced fully 2d per bushel on feeding sorts. Little has been doing in other cereals, and prices re main at previous quotations. If anything potatoes are rather firmer, holders being less h.olin.d to part with stocks, which are bow getting small, and very few have changed hands, speculation for Australia having almost ceased.
