THE GRAIN MARKET.
CHRISTCHURCH, Ist April. Business in the grain market has not been fully resumed after the holidays, and during the current week only a limited quantity of wheat and oats changed hands. Only a small amount of business has been done in wheat during the last few weeks, owing, in a large measure, to the bulk of the grain being in a damaged condition, making shipping risky. Good wheat readily finds buyers at full quotations, but for inferior and sprouted the market is not keen. Offerings are not extensive, and the majority of samples show unmistakable signs of weather, many being so bad as to be unfit for milling or shipping purposes. For this class as low as 3s on trucks at country stations has been accepted. For damaged wheat of primest quality prices range up to 3s 7d and 3s Bd. Oats continue firm, and all descriptions are quoted at an advance of one penny per bushel.
