ASHBURTON GRAIN MARKET.
Business in the grain and produce trade is still in a quiet condition, and the t. uiutity of any description of offerings is very small. It is evident that only a small proportion of the season's crop is now in farmers' hands.
Wheat. —Although prime quality lines can be placed, the millers' demands are easily satisfied, and several growers still have their wheat in their paddoSks. Fowl wheat'is in good demand, and prices are firmer. Oats. —Nominally, the market shows no quotable change, but merchants are in most cases not prepared to stock tip at quoted rates, and are. supplying contracts ex lines in store.
Chaff. —The , demand is slack, and recent prices are not obtainable. Prime quality may be quoted at from £5 5s to £5 10s, but some buyers are only prepared to operate at £5.
