DUNEDIN STOCK EXCHANGE. {BY TELEGRAPH. — PRKSS ISSOOIATION.J DUNEDIX, 2?th April. Stock Exchange Sales. — Standard Insurance, £1 Is; Rise and Shine, £1 12s. CHRISTOHURCn GRAIN MARKET. CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The collapse of the American wheat ''corner" and tha lower values now ruling in Australia have been reflected on the local wheat market, and during the last ten days prices have weakened to the «xtent of at least threepence per bushel, current values ranging from 3s lid to 4s on trucks at country stations, slightly higher prices being paid for extra prime rparcols of pearl. There is an entire absence of speculation on the part of exporters, and for ;ho most part millers are indisposed to operate beyond what is necessary for present requirements. Considerable quantities are being placed on offer, but, generally speaking, holders show little disposition to sell at present prices, being in most cases confident of •the future prospects of the wheat market. The oat market is -firm. Prices have an upward tendency, present values representing an advance from a penny to twopence, compared with the prices ruling a eajiple of weeks ago. Fairly extensive shipments are being made to the United Kingdom, nnd, were shipping available, the trade would probably assume considerable volume. Space, however, is difficult to procure.
