TIMARU.
A large quantity of grain, both wheat and | oats, has arrived in GKmaru the last week, ohiefly, though, to close sales. In fresh transactions there h_w been but little doing. A few small lots of wheat have been sold from is 3d to 4s 6d, but to millers, we believe, in every instance; buyers as a rule refusing to advance more than 4s for first-class samples. In oats trade has been dull, a few parcels only changing hands at 2s 6d. Barley remains at former quotations—-3s 6d to 4s. In shipments, we note the schooner Dancing Wave having oompleted loading with oats to-day. She takes to the- Hokitika market 946 bags, containing 8797 bushels. A very large quantity of grain is in store awaiting shipment, but fCclearance will be effected next week, when the barque Collingwood is expected in port to lo.id.for Auckland. On Thursday, at Waimate, Mr Stubbs held an auotion sale of cattle. There Was a good attendance, and fair prices realised-' ..Cow?: irom £7 to £13; steers, 55s ; calves, 455.— *' Herald," April 24. Business for the last few days has been slack, and little doing. In breadstuffs, we note no change, and prices nominally keep up at last quotations.—April 28.
