RUAPUNA.

Notwithstanding the boisterous nor' westers of the pact few days, the Ruapuna i~ residents weie on Tliursday evening favored with excellent, weather to celebrate the opening of theirnew hall. This building ' has been erected within the last Uirue months, and will no doubt prove to be a most beneficial addition to the township of Ruapuna. The young ladies proved their ability m managing the tea meeting, the tables of which were a treat to both eye and palate. " The concert, under the superin tendance of Mr Hall, wa9 a thorough success. The programme consisted of songs by Mis-es Doyle, Wood,' free arid Mesdames Foster. Me3vrs Crr and Miller. Violin solos by .-Messrs Speusley, Wood, and Misses Billan r**' tyne. A hearty vote of thanks was propose 1 by Mr Doyle, and the entertainment closed wi th " God save the Queeu." Mr Cordeaux occupied the chair. After the concert prepaiatlons were made foe a dane?, which was kept up, till the early honrs. ,

The Weather.

The fine weather ot the past fortnight came to an end yesterd*y> when heavy rain y Bet m {cm the South East. Very few i people ventured out last evening uuless com '- pelted by business, even the inducement of tho opening of the election campaign by Mr • Maslin f tied to bring out more than a few ':. of the Aehburbon e-ectors. Tho bad weather. ,---'haß not been confine I to this district as T Christchurch has h.id a similar experience. "

COMMERCIAL.

. ._^ CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET. The Lyttelton Times reported yesterday on the grain market as under :— Business m the grain market was animated yesterday, the recent advance m English values of wheat being mote than fully rcfl. cied locally. Speculators and locil mil'ers were operating Joritlily, and transactions were of consider-, able magni< ude. Sales of fully 10,000 sacks are reported at rates vaiying from 3j 5d f.o.b. to 33 91, at which' price the market closes firm,, with scanty offerings. Oats also improved, but the inquiry is chiefly for heavy description?, with the ultimate ship ment to London. Potatoes have also been specu'atcd m, and the result; has. been a sharp advance m values, especially for early shipment. The market* c ost-s firm at equal to 55s at country stations.

LOCAL.

The news published m our columns within the past day or two re the rise m the Eng lish and Atueri' an wheat market induced holders to come forward, but offers up to 3s 6d had not led to much business being done, when the later cable anuounced that the rise at Home was only temporary, Oiie farmer refused 3< 6d, and is doubtless now regretting that he dideo.
