Canterbury,— The Press of-Beptenjber 30 reports,!— *' Flour, is still held for ljti!. ,for leading brands, but a slight concessionj would no doubt be made to move a largo parcel. Barley is ooaaaionally jinqniredj f^or^ Hy the maltsters and brewers, prime samples!realising 3a to 3a 9d on terms, . Oats have slightly improved in value, superior sampled of milling being readily moved at 2s 8d td 2s 9d, or 2a9kl to 2s lOi'd 'f.o.'b. , Several considerable lines have been moved at these figures, aud, as stocks in store are much re lucked, , these quotations are likely to be quite »U 3" tamed. Hams and bacon continue 1 overplentiful at?<7d and 7id,< bare oe in cloth. Cheese remains almost a glut at- 3^d to 4d. Quotations for ker6sine are ' weaker, and holders arc anxious to quit at 2s jLOd to 2s 10id. ,Candles also are sl&w of sale, but holders .we firm at 11 id for Price's Bel,monts and Brandon's. Nothing i(j doing in spirits, stocks being moro than ample for present wants. HennosBy's and Martell's pale and dark brandy, in bulk, is quoted at 7s Gd to 7s 9il ; in case, 30s. Whinkey, both bulk and case, ia difHcult to ' place. Favourito brands of bottled- stout are in request, stocks being principally held by one house. Barclay's, Gninness's, and Blood's go into the j hands of the tradp at lls 9d to 12a. Fine I salt ia offering freely at U. 10s to <U. 12a Gd, ' i with few buyers. Dried fruits are in steady demand. Currants are firmly held at 5Jd to 5 4d." Timaiuj.— The if <> raid of September 26 in its monthly summary reports ; — ''September i may be said to have been an unusually dull mouth, for we hear complaints from both wholesale and retail dealers of a general depression in business. The grain season may now ha said to be eutirely closed. Very few parcels, either of wheat or oals, have changed hands during the month. What' haa be. mi shipped, and what remains to be shipped, are lots long sine? purchased."
