THE WEATHER.

ALPORD STATION. The following is the meteorological report for the week ending October 15, 1897■:-*

CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

Press. The American and European markets have recovered somewhat from the reaction that followed the recent rapid rise in prices. The quantity of wheat and flour afloat this week 'U 3*030,000 quarters, as against 3 070,000 quarters last week, the shipments for the XJniled Kingdom being heavier, but those for the Continent 200,0^0 quarters leai. Ihe suppiiei for the Continent have, however, increased relatively more of late thau those for the United Kingdom, and this is generally considered » good sign for the holder of wheat; aa there is atalltimts a constant demand from the latter, but when th«J Continent enters the market there invariably ensues a oonfl>ot between demand and supply. The American visible supply has now increased to 34,230,000 bushels-, but is still 33,180,000 bushels below the estimate aiven at tais time last year. The Victorian wheat market has weakened a shade over Id per bushel, and the Sydney market has gone back almost to the same extent. The harVest in those colonies is now approaching, and stocks are evidently quite sufficient to carry on with until the new grain is available. The Christohurch wheat market keeps fairly steady, offeriugs generally being small, while millers are ready to taks up any prime samples that come forward. Prices, are, however, a shade easier than they, were a fortnight ago Daring the week » few parcels have changed hands, including 900 bushels of pearl and Tuscan at equal to 4s 3^, f-0.b., aod 700 bushels of Tuscan at the same figure, in Dunedin prime milling sells readily, but, inferior is only in demand for fowl feed, for which there is a good demand for exp rr. Oats are weaker iv both Melbourne and Sydney, and New Zealand feeding are now worth only 2s 4d in the latier m-rket. Locally thero h little or nothing dou.g. There is a fair enquiry for milling oats, bur, millers will not give 'ho price asked, as they c*n'obtain their euppiks at a cheaper mio from the South. There is practically no alteration m the .Dunedio njaikef., milling being nominal.y worth 2s Id to 2i 3d «.ud fetid Is 10-1 tf> Is 1141. The f-'otit'ukiid maikeh is dull, and owinjj t,o the abun.lanco of feed and ih? low price and good supply of Himize there is little demand.from Australia. Prices are nominally Is 8d to Is BJ.I, sacks ex^a, for best feed at country stationn. The p.xcepti"nally heavy shipments of potatoes fchat have beers made to Sydney cf late are it iengs.ii beginning to depress the market theie. Private cable advices have Jjeen received to the effect that the Wai kare'f shipment is selling languidly at 62* 6 1 to 65a, and buyers are of opinion that iv view of heavy receipts, further arrivals will have to be ceded at lower rates. Supplies are al 0 likely to be heavy from Victoria. The local market has consequently become easier, and shippers are not willing to give more than 35a at. country stations, more especially as the Rotokiuo, which has been put back till next weak, is expected to ship a considerable quantity of potatoes at Oamaru and Timaru. There is now but little business doing in grass and clover seeds, bub there is an nouve demand for rape and turnip seed, especially the former. A fair amount of chaff has been exported to the North, but the demand is now easing off. The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.0.b., Lyfctelton, for direct ship ment from country stations and free of commission :— Wheat—Good to primo quality pearl 4s 2^d to 4? 3^l.

THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY Will Stand at Owner's Farm, Willowby, and travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Weaterfield and Aehburton Forks Districts. Will be at Newman's Stables 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 great substance and power, with 'many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pisterna, also great bone, clean 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 R*e, 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). ' Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin in 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland; 343, N.Z.5.8.) was a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She waa shown in New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, SC.S.B.); grand sire Ivanhoe lut (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was gotby^he 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. 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; amoDg the others she was champion mare at the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her aa a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the Bhow ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. ; 113, 5.8.) 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.
