lOHRISTOHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUOE MARKET.

Press. After showing great firmness for several' weeks, the English wheut market is reported as being dull, and the 6d per buthel advance advised early m the week has since been lost. The American market is fitm, and m ail probability it wiil continue to be for some time to come, as importing countries will chitfly have to look to thia source for 'heir supplies. The Continental market at. the last advice was inactive. The colonial wheat markets are all more or less firm. The Melbourne market has advaue-.'d a half penny, while the Sydney market remains firm, and it is reported that a good deal of business has lately been done m flour. The local wheat market was quiet m ihe earlier part of the week, but during the ast few day? ha< recovered to something like last week's tone. Millers have been purchasing a> few small parcels of suitable grain, and a fair amount is being shipped coastwise. Several lines of mixed milling have been ' placed at 4s 2£d and 4a 3i delivered at the mills, and other lota on a somewhat lower bania. The Dunedia market ia firm, but while buyers do not show much eagerness to purchase, any prime milling lines are at the aamo -time taken up at prices rather more m favor of s- Hers. Prime velvet is j quoted at 4s 5d to 4s 7d, and prime Tuscan j 4s 4d to 4s 6d. The oat market m Mel* bonroe has recovered to the extent of 3d per bushel for both feed and milling descriptions, but new Zealand prown oats show no change m value m Sidney. The Christchurch market still remains very dull, and the busi- Bess passing is of & hand to mouth character. There is a little ci quiry for milling at 2-s, bub there is little or no response. There is a better feeling m fie ma*ket m the South m consequence chiefly of the improvement m Melbourne, and though there is not yet much change, prices m Dunedin have an im proved tendency. Milling oars are quoted at 2s Id to 8s 3d, and best feed at la lOd to 2* Q£d. There is a fair enquiry for grass and clover seeds, the turnover of the former having been satisfactory during the week. Potatoes are stili steady, but (he immediate future of the market depends chiefly upon values m Sydney. There ia an improved enquiry for oatsheaf chaff. The New Zea land Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited (and reduced), report that at their grain sale they offered a well assorted catalogue of some 2500 sacks of grain and produce. There was a good attendance of buyers, but competition was languid. The following prices were obtained :—Milling wheat 4s, whole fowl 3a 3d to 3s 6d, good seconds 3s to 3a 2d, thin 2s 8d to 2s 10 .1; oats—Danish 2a, duns 2s Id, Canadian up to 2a 3d ; oat straw chaff 40a to 455. The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.0.b., Lyttelton, for direct ship ment from country stations and free of commission, except where otherwise speci fied:- Whsat—Good to prime quality pearl 4s 3d to 4 1 4d, Tuscan 4s 2d to 4s 3d, Hunter's 4b 2d to 4a 3d, second quality wheat about 2d lower. oAT3—Prime milling 2s 3i, good stout i feed 2a Id to 2i 2d, fair short feed 2s to 2a Id, duns 2s 2d, Danish Is lid to 2s. Babley—Prime malting 3s 91 to 43 Id, medium 3a 3d to 3a 6d, feed 2a 3d to 2s sd, Cape 2s 9d. The New Zealand Farmers' Co opera tive Association of Cantebbdry, Ltd., quote as follows on September 24 :— Wheat— f.o.b. Prime milling Pearl 4a 4d „ „ Tuscan 4s 4d „ „  Hunter's 4s 3d fco 4s 4d  Seconds, c'ean ... 3s 3d to 3s 4d  Oats- Tartars and Duns .. 2=» Id  Goo.lst'. ufcfeed ... 2a 2d to 2a 3d  Milling 2* 4J. „ Barley— Prime malting ... 4s  Medium (dull) ... 3a 6d to 3s 9d  Beans ... ... 2* 9d , s P«as— Prussian bluea ... 4a 6d to 4a 9d  Partridge ... ... 3s 3d to 3s 4d „ Ryegrass— Farmers' lines 2a 6d „ Cocksfoot — Good bright seed ... 3^-d  Medium grades ... bd , Chaff- Good oatsheaf, 57s 6d at country stations. Potatoes—D<irwt>nts ... to 35s  Lyttellon Times. Business m wheat has shown a slight im provement since tasfc report, and prices have again tinned. Sales were reported oo Friday of about 1000 bushels of mixed milling wheats at 43 3d, delivered at local mills. Good clean broken seconds for mixing meet a ready sale locally at up to 3a 4d pei bushel. The inquiry for wheat for Auck land has iigain fallen off. There is a fair iuquiry for good milling oats, bnt farmers decline to sell at 2), which is the ruling price offered, and feed sons are extremely dull. Oatsheaf eh.iff has met a, little better demand, but there is no improvement m prices. No change can be recorded m the potato market, and ai the new season's crop is now availab:e m Auckland, there is little prospect of much demand from there. Growers who exported to Sydney are still anxiously awaiting returns. The following are prices current : — ' Wheat—Pearl (prime milling) and Tuscan 4s 4d, Hunter's to 4s 3d, good second;; 3a 41 Oats. —billing Canadians 2s 3d, Tartars 2s 2d, stout feed 2% Id to 2a 2d, duns 2? to 2s 2d, Danfch 2s.

KING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R Gawn, North Taieri. He is » colt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and piksterna, also gre.it bone, dean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydesdale. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is Lion King, by British Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rie, from Scotland, by Argyle {2567 vol vi.), dam Darling by Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). Li~>n King was first at Dunedia Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland ; 343, N.Z.S.B) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown m New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S C.5.8.) ; grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by 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 m New Zealand. Kiug of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N.Z.5.8.) show yard career is so 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 stamped her ai a mare of unusual excellence; her. sire is the fir-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbentpn horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, 5.8.) King of Quality as a yearling gained first priz j at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, lid as a three-year-old first at Taieri and b«. o Hid at Dunedin. It will be seen from fits above that King of Quality is descended fiom the purest strains of prize-taking Clydesdale blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a sire.
