CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRO DUCE MARKET.

JFress, Harvest operations, whioh were inter rupted by the gales of lust week, are now m fall swing, and during the last few days a considerable area of grain has been cut. The wheat coming to hand, which is of course from the earlier town crops, is m splendid condition and the quality very good, much batter m fact than was anticipated. Of the samples offered one or two small lots have been purchased for immediate requirements, bnt the prioes given oannob be considered as the opening values for the new season, as the wheat was required for a special pur* pose. Millers are said to be fairly well atoclced, and are not likely to be buying at •11 freely- for Borne little time. There i« still a fair demand for oats for local consumption, but they are only going off m small lots to meet the hand-to-mouth trade that is passing. There are very few new samples yet on offer. There is a good enquiry for malting barley, and any that is offered oan be readily placed. Sales of the new crop have been «ffect«d as high as 4s 9d delivered m Christ church for good malting. On account of the amount offering the ▼aloe of oatsheaf chaff has declined, the demand at present* being somewhat limited. Grass seeds have met with good enquiry, and there has been a considerable run on abodes of. ryegrass, the demand being princi pally from the North Island. As there is such a small quantity of new seed with whioh to replenish stocks, values have, m consequence of the demand, advanced. Cocksfoot has also been wanted, and prices have improved. Late cable advices Bhow that there are improved prospects at Home. 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: — Wheat— Good to prime quality pearl 4 3d to 4a 4d, Tuscan 4s 2d to 4s 3d, Hunter' 4s to 4s Id,' second quality wheat about 3d lower.

Silver Medal, Birkenhead Agricultural Society, 1890.— Silver Medal, Altringham Agricultural Society, 1890.— Diploma of Merit, Royal Military Exhibition, Chelsea, 1890.— Bronze Medal, Prague Exhibition, 1891. THE COLLAR is an invention which wins the approval of all owners of horseß who once give it a trial. TESTIMONIALS. To Mr F. Ferriman, Dear Sir, — I have taken great pains to see how the above Collars would answer, and aB you have taken' over the ugency for them I am sending you this testimonial, hoping you will use it for the benefit of the farming community, as I am satisfied the Steel Collar is a great boon to this oonnty on account of the great heat and boulders we have to contend with. I have used them for carth.g shipgle m riverbeds and find that they ease the horses very much. I have also used them m the hottest part of summer to put m turnips and find the horseß wearing th 9 Steel Collars finished much freaher and took leas feed to keep them m condition ihan those working m the leather collars. I had a mare sent to me with her shoulders quite raw, and her owner could not cure them. I started to work her m the Steel Collar, and within a month had her as sound as possible. Another man sent me a mare with a tumor on her shoulder. I worked her iv a Steel Collar and had her well m a week. In fact I do not think they can bo too highly praised, aud if once used no other sort will be used again At the same time I would like to remind all that use them that they must be kept quite clean, a rub with a wet cloth is all that is required. F. A. Sawders. MayQeld. Ashburton, November 30, 1897 Mk F. Ferriman, Dear Sir— l have used the Patent yteel Collar and find them very satisfactory. My horses are never troubled with sore shoulders when worked m these collao. Thomas Bennett. Ashburton, November 27, 1897 Mr F. Ferriman, Dear Sir -I am using six of the Patent Steel Horse Collars for draught horses, and although my couti'ry is very rough noue of my horses working m these collars ever suffer from sore shoulders. Whenever my leather collars fail I replace them with the steel ones. I always use them wh. n breaking m 3'oung horses, aud never have aDy trouble with their shoulders. 1 have horses I could not work, uuless I had the Steel Collars. John Dotle. THE A dvaniages of the Collar MA'S BE SUMMARISED AS BELOW :— No Harness required ; It is easily fitted ; It cannot get out of shape by wear ; It requires no stuffing ; There is no pinching of the shoulders ; The jerk at starting with a heavy load- is minimised, the collar being m itself a spring, The pull is distributed over a large surface of the shoulder, and does not come wholly on the outer edge, as is often the case with the ordinary Collar. It never wants drying, and, therefore, a second Collar for use during that pro- cess is unnecessary. It is cheaper, lighter, and more comfort' able, aud lasts longer than a Leather Collar and The parts are interchangeable. AGENT FOR ASHBUHTON : F. FERRIMAN. WOOLSTON STEAM WOOL WORKS, CHRISTGHFROH.
