SOUTHERN MARKETS
(IT TELEGRAPH— PRBSS ASSOCIATION ) CHRISTCHURCH, 2nd October. Since the fixing of the price of wheat and flour by the Government, business in wheat is at a complete standstill. There are enquiries from outside millers' for wheat at 4s 9d, f.0.b., but merchants . can only supply at a loss. Oats are weaker in the absence of shipping freight to the United Kingdom, and there is no demand for chaff. The potato market continues to weaken, and 27s 6d to 30s are the best prices at country stations.
