CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET.

Wednesday's Lytteltoib 7'bm-si reports :—

There is a slightly better inquiry for wheat locally, and millers show an inclination io "purchase anything suitable for their require ments, and in several instaueea have bought at fully up to quotations. Although iln market has a slightly belter tendency, them IB no prosoeot of immediate improvement in values. Amongst the sales reported have been fair-sized lines of new Tuscan at 3a IQJ, and mixed P. arl and Hunter's at 3s 10£.l, both delivered at Christchnrch, beside-, a number of small linss. G-ol short oats for milling and feed purposes ure still inquired for, but ure somewhat scaice, and light duns (Hid Danish, which are plentiful, are not so saleable. Oatsheaf chaff remains firm, and alt coming to hand ia absorbed for l-.-cal ie qnirements, whilst, there is also au outside demand. Digg:ng tho main crop of pota toes is now beoomirg gene.al, and it is found that there ia a good deal of second growth, which will materially affect the quantity of the maike'ftble article. Ve.y few sales have been made during the past few days, but news from Sydney is ot a rather more hopeful character, prices there showing a margin which shou d be sufficient fco tempt speculators to operate. Little or nothing has been done in the grain market »t Ashburton during the week. Merchants and millers are not anxious to buy, and farmers are compelled ur store tin their own account unless they are prepared to accept prices very much lower than those ruling a few weeks ago. The hot, windy weather of the past month has greatly improved the condition of the grain, whioh is now tairly bright and hard. Farmers are mow inclined to sell than they were a week ago, and many would now accept 3s 6i, but there arfe no buyers at present at that price. The following are current prices for new Wheat — Paarl (prime (millir.g) and velvet chaff 3s lOd to 3a lid, Tuscan and Hunter's 3s 8d to 3s 9d, good seconds, clean, 3s to 3s 4d. Oats—Milling Canadians 2a Id, stout teed and Tartars Is lOi to 2-!, duos Is lOd to Is lid, Danish Is lOd. BableY—Malting 3s 6d to 4s, medium 33 to 3a 3d. '•■,.* The above prices are those paid to tanners f.o.b. Lyttelton.

The Press of same date says : — Daring the past few days there has been a slightly better enquiry for milling wheat, one or two fresh local buyers having been operating. On Saturday there was, how ever, not much business done as farmers were generally asking more than buyers were inclined to give, sellers' ideas of value being about 3s 8d at country stations Among the sales reported are 2000 bushels of Ttucan at 3< 10d delivered at Christchurch. 500 bushels of pearl and 1100 bushels of Hunter's at 33 lOf 1 al-o delivered at Christ church, a large line of second quality Tuscan and Hunter's "at 3a 61 at Sumtnertoo, equal to3si9'Jf.ob. Good short oats for milling and feed are still Well enquired for, with few offers. Barley is without alteration, and there ia a fair'denund for oatsheaf chaff. The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.0.b., Lyttelton, for direct ship ment from country stations and free of com mission :— Wheat.—Good to prime quality pearl 3s 9d to 3a lid, Tuscan 3a 8d to 3s 91, Hunter's 3a 8d to 3s 9d, second quality wheat Id to 2d lower.

rriHE Duke of Wellington carried a tender _L heart beneath a stern appearance. He I is said to have been in tears the greater part I of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's anger —controlled of course —where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, eveiju " is lost through the horse falling lame; and the man—always the man—is the objtctof our pity. The horse's unuttered sufferings arc rarely i hought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, " 1 uttered no com plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatesc consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 17
