CHRISTOHURCH GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET.

The Lytteltm Times of yesterday reports; As is usual on Thursdays, yesterday was an off day m the grain market, and no business of consequence transpired. The agricultural returns for Canterbury, which are published m this iisue. should have the effect of still further hardening the price of eats, as the snpply will be even shorter than was expected. The following are current prices : — WHEAT.-Old, 3s 6d to 3a Sd ; new, 3s 4d to3s6d. Oats.— Prime milling, Is lid to 2s ; short feed, Is 9d to Is lid ; Dubs, Is 9di Barley; — Malting, prime 3s 9d to 4s ; medium do., 3s 3d to 3s 6d ; second quality, 2s 6d to 33 ; fee*d, 2s 3d ; Cape barley, 2s 3d to2s6d.

The above prices are paid to farmers f.o.b. Lyttelton, unless where otherwise stated. The Press of this mornißg reports :— The market for new grain has now settled down to a level at which a fair amount of business is being done, and the past week has seen the turnover of a considerable quantity of wheat especially, the offerings of oats, barley, and other produce not having been of great magnitude. A good miny enquiries from Australia have been made for New Zealand wheat, but up to the present no great amount of "business has resulted. There appears to be a feeling m Sydney that prices hare must, later on, pass off, and the New South . Wales millers are,, apparently more m the hum- ur to wait than to operate immediately. There is nothing of interest to report m respect to oats or barley. The former are not being at all freely offered, and the local brewers and maleterß are the main opera ators m new barley. Prime samples are ' scarce and command good prices, but fair to j medium linen are neglected. Wheat. — F.a.q milling is saleable to-day at from 3s 3d to 3s 4d, f.o.b. Lyttelton. Oats — Prime milling comoiand 2s, good stout feed Is lOd to Is lid, Tartars and Duns Is lOd to Is lOJd, Barley.— Prime malting is being taken j up for local use at 3* 8d to 39 9d, f.o.b* : Peas.— Prussian Blues are m demand* Samples vary, and front 3s fed to 3s 6d is being offered for'delivery at Port. Beaks are net yet m tht, market. Ryeorass— Good qualities are saleable, but inferior grades do not' meet with much acceptance. Prices range from 2a 3d to 3s 3d, at country stations. Cocksfoot.— The market is slightly easier, and sales are being made at 3d to 3Jd Oatsheaf Chaw is temporarily neglected.' Prices are unchanged, and range from 40s to 45s per too, at country stations. Onions are selling at £4 per ton, country stations, or £4 10s f.o.b. Lyttletoni

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Mr Henry Zander (Mr David Zander auctioneer), reports upon the live stock market for the week ending February 26, as followi :— On Tuesday at the Tin wild yards there was a fair attendance of farmers and others interested. The sale right through was slightly better than the previous week, especially forward latr.ba for finishing, which were eagerly competed for. In the butchers' pens there was a fair yarding, the bulk being crossbred ewes of different) qualities, with a few good pens of merino ewes Prices ranged for aged ciossbred ewes from 4s 7d to 7s 9d, merino eweß from 3a 6d to 5s lid, butchers' lambs made 8s to 10s sd. There was a good entry of store sheep, about; 6000 being yarded— the feature of this class being a line of crosabred ewes and wethers sent forward by E. .6. Wright, Esq., , of which the latter made 11s and ■ the former 9a ; forward two-tootha made 8s to. 9s 6d, small two«tootbsfrom 6s 6d to 7» 6rt, merino ewes, according to ages, from 2s 6d to 4i 3d.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT NEW BRIGHTON.

Messrs "W, F. "Warner, Murray, and Stewart Drowned, Christohurch, February 29 There was considerable excitement m town this morning, when it was reported that Messra W, F. Warner, of the Commercial Hotel, Murray, of the New Brighton Hotel, and- Stewart; had been drowned m the estuary during the night. All manner of rumors were afloat, and later on it was reported that) the men had been rescued, bub unhappily this proved to be incorrect. From particulars to hand we gather that the three men named, to gether with Mr Hawker, junr., proceeded to Sumner for the purpose of bringing baoktbe boat Waitangi m which they went to Sumner on the Thursday, bub th» wind being goaty they delayed ihelr start till 11 o'clock when it. had somewhat abated. When nearing the entranpe to the river a sudden equall Btrock and oapsizedthe boat, Tbe occupants man. aged to get on her bottom and after drift, ing about for some time it was seen that Warner was getting exhausted, and Hawker volunteered to swim ashore, the other two men deciding to stop with Warner. Hawker managed to get ashore about ten e'olock this morn ing and "on obtaining assistance re turned to the scene of the capsize, but nothing could be seen of the boat or the men. Diligent search has been kept up ever since but so far the men have rot | been discovered and there is now little doubt but that all three have been drowned.
