WHEAT. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright.) (Received October 6, 11 a.m.) LONDON, sth October. Wheat — Sixpence dearer, owing to an advanoe in freights. • CHRISTCHURCH MARKETS. CHRISTCHURCH, sth Octdber. From the remarks made last week by the Prime Minister there is evidently no prospect o£ permission being granted to export any wheat or flour this season. The continued dry weather in Canterbury and North Otago is causing considerable concern to grain growers, and although crops generally are so far looking remarkably well, there is not sufficient moisture in the ground to keep them going for any length of time, and high north-west winds that have prevailed lately have been very severe upon both crops and pastures. There is no demand at present for grain, and wheat is unsaleable. The only business doing is/in potatoes. The North Island has held off the mark~et ail the winter, but a stronger demand has set in from there, and as merchants' stocks beyond what have been purchased for shipment for Australia are low, tho price has risen £1 per ton since last week. Sales have been made at £6 15s and £7 at country stations, and the quantity offering is not large.
