The following is the Grain Report for the week ending November 21st, 1902 : —

Wheat-.— Several millers have paid flying visits with the object of purchasing wheat,, and are evidently much disappointed at the small quantity available. Second class w.heat, which was before saleable only as fowl wheat, is commanding more attention. Amongst others, the following sales have been effected during the week. 7500 bushels mixed Tuscan and Pearl 4s 3d, 3000 bushels of the Eame description at 4» 2d, while Tuscan and Hunters' alone, if prime, are selling readily from 4s Id to 48"2 d. "Whole fowl wheat is scarce at 3s 2d. Seconds 3s.

Oats. —A few small lines h:ive sold for local feed at '2s fid, others no business has been reported. Quotations are unaltered, although merely nominal.

Oatsheaf Chaff.-—lt is extremely scarce, and is now commanding £i 5s per ton.

Timaru Grain Market

(From our own correspondent.) Timaru, November 21

I The firmness and activity noted last week continues.

Tuscan and Ked Chaif have also advanced and 4s 4d, ex store, is given which is equal to 4s od f.o.b. Up to 4s 6d, ex store, is the quotation for mixei lines of Velvet, Tuscan, and "Red Chaif. Stores are very bare of all kinds of milling and fowl wheat, a^d it is confidently expected that prices will go even higher. Oats are very firm, and many damaged and discoloured [ lota have b«t>n sold at up to 2s 3d, F.o.b. I sacks extra. Very prime and bright samples hay sold at 2s b"d to 2s 7-jd f.0.b., sacks Ed, an I good bright Duns up to' 2s 9d. Feed barley has been sold at Ks 4-d, f.0.b., sacks sd. The season for potatoes is over.

Christchurch Grain Market.

Christckurch, Nov 21. Matters in tha local grain market are excited.
