COMMERCIAL.

WHEAT, OATS, AND BARLEY. The Press of Saturday has the following : The local market has further strengthened during the week, and closing prices are a shade higher than last week. A few fair sized linee have been on offer, and lit 1* difficulty is experienced in placing them. Sales of a couple of fairly large lines of mil ling wheat have taken place at Ashburton at 3a 9d, equal to a fraction over 4a f 0.b., and any business taking placy in Chiistchureh has been fully up to quotations. At yester day's auction milling pearl made up to 4s, Tuiean 3s 9Jd, sod Hunter's 3a 8d ex store. A considerable quantity of w heat, has recently been shipped to Auckland, and other parcels are awaiting shipment to the same port The Dtfoedm market also shares in the general improvement, Piime velvet is quoted at 4s 2d to 4a 3d, and Tusoan 4s to 4a id. The Victorian oat market, which was animated laub week, is now rather weaker, Algerian feeding being worth 2a 2d to 2s s£d, and milliDg 2s 4d to la sd, a decline of Id per bushel as compared with the previous Week, The Sydney market ia also a little weaker, New Zealand prime feeding being quoted at 2s Bd, and medium 2, 4d, f hereaa last week prime were worth Id more. Ade laide prices show no alteration. '1 he Cfamt- Oburob m*rket is very bare of local offerings, and quotations in the South are eott&mually being asked for. Some samples of Sooth land oats of excellent quality have been offered, and purchases of feed lines have been made on aUais of 2s 3|d at Christohurch. A !ar«e Quantity of oats is going into store m L>ut>. edin, and ptioea are firm at 2s Id to 2s 4J tot prime milling and seed lines, and Is lid to 2i Id for good to best feed. In boathlaod last week tha market was a little weaker, owing, it is said, to the failure of orders from New Sooth Wales, where heavy rams have fallen. Quotations are Is 10|d to 2s at country stations, according to distance from port. The offerings of oatsheaf ohaff are but few and orders for export oan only in a few oases be filled. There is practically no business doing looally in barky, but ip Dunedin a fair quan tity of prime malting is changing hands at 3a 9d to 4-i, though the offerings are not up to requirements.
