CHRISTCHDRCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Times. \ Although news from Home conveys the intelligenoa that the wheat n/arkets con tinue to harden there, and that the Oou tinenU\ and American markets continue to improve, there has been no change here. The rain experienced during the early part of the week in Canterbury came too late in most instfc&ces to be of much benefit to th« cropa, and the outlook ia anything bat encouraging. With the prospect of a poor crop next season, holders of Urge lines seem less inclined to part with them, and although several inquiries have been made by local millers, they have not resulted in business. The only quality which has changed hands h&B been fowl wheat, of which several small lines have been taken at 3s 6d for whole and 3t to 3s 2d for broken lots. There has alsu been a good demand for the poorer classes of barley, both fer fowl and horse feed. Only a few small parcels of oats have changed hands for seed purposes, at frm 2i to 2s Id •x %tore Christohuroh, bat the market for the better sorts shows a tendency to be firmer, in sympathy with the Southland market, ia which a distinct rise is leoorded. ■There at* a good many inquiries for chaff for •hipmeat to Auokland, but business has been of a very limited description, as the merchants there demur to paying the prices asked by farmers here, which mains that Unded there the chaff} costs them £4 1O« per too, Turnip sowing is very backward this season, and although the rain of Tuesday last wae expeoted to have oiuted a run on this seed, very little changed hands. The oropainthe Marlborough and Nelson dis tricts are reported to be looking very well, and there is every prospect of a fair harvest there. In moat parts or Canter bury tha crops have suffered severely from the drought, and in many instances stock have been turned in to feed them off, Prices current are aa follow : — Wheat.—Pearl (prime milling) 4s 2d, (Tuscan4s 2d to4s 3d, Hunter's 33 9d to 3s lid good seconds 3s 2d. Oats—Milling Canadians 2s 2d, stout feed 2», Dunn and Danish 2s. Babley (nominal).— Malting, 3a 9d to 4', medium 3a 3d to 3a 6d, feed scarce 2s 2d to 2s 6d.

Will be a' Newman's Sbables every SATURDAY. KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay rising five years old, bred by Mr R Gawn, North Taieri. He is a colt of grea substance and power, with many points t( recommend him to a breeder, has splendic feet and pisterns, also great bone, clean ant flowing with nice silky hair—the true badgi of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prim< mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His uire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Kae, from Scotland, bj Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling bj Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dair Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as t three-year-old first at Dunedin in 1894 anc 1895, for horse with three of his progeny, Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (importec from Scotland j 343, N.Z.5.8.) waa a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champwt. upor each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, 5.C.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was gotby the great Sir Walter Scott, whose breeding needs nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed in New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z.S B.) Bhow yard career is bo well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details ; suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has scamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten hone. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. j 113, 8.R.) King of Quality as a yearling gained first prize at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, and as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin. It will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended from the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire.
