GRAIN & PRODUCE MARKETS.

Very little wheat is offering as growers have apparently decided to hold in the hope that the market will improve. The soaroity of oornsacks U also delaying threshing opere- i tions, and a large proportion of this season's | wheab is therefore likely to remain in the stack. In reply to a telegram sent to him by the Chairman of the New Zealand Farmers' Association, the Minister of Railways on Tuesday telegraphed a reply to the effect that instructions bad been given that the | railage on wheat in 2001b sacks waa to be charged at the rate of twelve sacks to the ton, and that the regulation would come into force at once; The oats market has a weak tendency owing to the want of steamers to take away those waiting shipment to South Africa. The following are current prices paid to farmers, f.o.b. Lyttelton, for direct shipment from country stations and free of com mission, except where otherwise specified :— Wheat—Hunter's 2s 21, pearl and velvet 2i 3d, and Tuscan 2s 4i.
