OHRIBTCHDROH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Thß Press of Saturday reports a3 follows : I The cables received duriDg the wetk notify falls of 3d and 6d in the English wheai market, with a further downward tendency, while the Continental is changing for tin worse, and the American is weak ai-d de clining. The Victorian wheut harvest has hardened, and it would seem that millers are exhausting their aooks and are compelled to re-enter the market. They are alive too to the strength of the holders' position, and ait now more keen to buy Urge line?, but most of the business is being done in small pa eels lit Ss 8i to 5s 9d, while seed wheat has beet) ■old up to 6s 9id. The Sydney market re mains quiet at 4i 5d to 4s 6d, while Adelaide quotations are without much change. There have been some very large offerings of wheat in the local market this week, ami * fair amount of business has iesuited. Several linen of newly threshed wheat i>j first-cLas condition were among those sub mitted, wad they changed hands at priuea fully main tain ing current quotations. Among theae were several lines from the Ashburton district, whioh «ol 1 at * qual to 3b 9d to 3s 9id f.o.b. for prime Hunter's. There is also aome demand for damaged wheat, and saleß •te reported np to 3s 6d i'.o.b., at which figure » line of 506 sacks was placed. Jhe Dunedin market is rather quieter. Prime velvet is quoted at 4s Id to 43 2d for southern »nd to 4s 3d for northern, aud prime Tuscan 3s lid to 4s. In Melbourne there is a better ecquiry for good stout white and seed Algerian oats, the former being quoted at 2s 2d to 3? 3d, and the htfter to 2s 6d, milling 2a 2£d to 2s 4d, and Algerian feeding la lOd to 2s 3d. The I Sydney market has aiao improved, heavy New Zealand feeding being worth 2s 4d, medium 2s 2d to 2a 3d, and Tartarian seed ing 2a 3d to 2s 6J. South Australian prices are unchanged at 2s 9d for duns and 3s 6d for Algerians and stout white. A decidedly firmer tone has been mani-1 fested in the local market duriug the week for good milling oats, aud sales of eparrow- < bills and Canadians have beeu made up to 2? 2d, f.o.b. Feed lines are also selling without difficulty at la lOd to Is lid for long oats and 2s to 2a Id, f.0.b., tor good duns and short feed. There is, however, * scarcity of local offerings, holders being doubtful whether to thresh or to cut up their stacks for chaff. Samples of Southland oats are low being submitted to Christchu eh mer chants, sellers asking Is lid and Is 11 for bright heavy feed, Is lOd for slightly dis colored, and la 91 for badly discolored lin.s, f,0.b., sacks included, and one or two pur chases have been made. The Dunedin market aiso shows animation, both mil.ing, fe9d, «nd seed lines meeting with attention. Prime milling are quoted at Is lid to 2 Id, feed Is lOd to Is lid, and seed, Tartars, and duns 2s Id to 2s 2d, sacks extra. During last week 18,000 sacks of oats were shipped from the Blutff to Australian ports. la con sequence of the firmer tone in the oat market oatmeal has advanced in price both in Dun edin and Christchurch. There is nothing to report in barley, except that aome extra prime samples grown in tho Lake district in Otago have been shown in Ohratchureh. The Dunedin market is firm afc 3s 6d to 3s 9d- Oatsheaf chaff is in demand for export to Sydney, where imported of medium quality is selling at £3 10i to £4. Sales have been made at 50s at country stations, but there are few offerings. Prime old chaff is selling at £3 5s to £3 10a in Dunedin. The following are current prices paid to farmers, fob., Lyttelton, for, ditiecti ship ment from country stations and free of com mission :— , Wheat—Good to prime quality pearl 3a 9d to 33 11(1, Tuscan 3a 8d to 3s 93, Hunter's 3s 8d to 3s 9d, second quality wheat Id to 2d lower.

Babley — Prime malting 3s 3d to 4s, medium 3a 3d to 33 6d, feed 2i to 2a 2d, C>pe2s9dL Saturday's Lyt/elton Times reports :— The grain and produce market has shown more activity during the past few days than it did a week or two ago. There has been more itiquiry for wheat, both within and beyond the colony. Although, so far, these inquiries have not resulted in much busine:B, they have assisted materially in maiut inkig prices in the'local market, and several large linea have changed hands, both for the North Island and for home consumption at equal to 3s 9d f.0.b., and s-Jes of smaller parcels are reported at up to quotations. Oata have been the subject of a good in quiry, and as advices from the south indicate a much firmer market in this direction, growers here do not seem anxious to sel. Milling sorts are most in demand, aod their scarcity ha* caused a considerable rise in the price of oatmeal. A large line of feed has been taken for locnl ct.nsump'ion at equal to 2* ljd f.0.b., and smaller parcel* have changed hands on the same ba is. A line of over 5000 bushel i of sparrowbills ia re ported to hayS been sokl on the b.isis of 2s 14-1 f.o.b There being virtually no prime samples of barley offering, maltsters are now turning their attention to medium descrip tions, which command fair values. Cateheaf chaff of good quality still meeta a brisk demand, and the prices obtained indicate a distinctly firmer market. Salea have been made at 50s to 52< 6\ at convenient country stations, and good lots have also been sold on the' basis of 47a 6d to 503 at Christchurch. The following are current prices :— Wheat. — Pearl (prime milling) and velvet chaff 3a lOd to 3a lid, Tuscan and Hunter's 3s 3d to 33 9d, good seconds, clean, 3a to 33 4d.
