CHRISTCHURCH,' 29th -Jan. Oats are firming, and sales of.B Gartons have been made up to 4s 2d f.o.b. s.i., equal to 3s 8d on trucks. A grade are quoted up to 4s. It is-stated that several _ consignments of southern oats are arriving for millers. Algerian oats cannot bo bought under 4s. There is a keen demand for chaff. North Island is the principal inquirer. Wheat coming to hand is promptly taken by millers. Ryegrass, cocksfoot, and white clover are in keen demand. The potato market is providing much less speculation this year, possibly because other produce lines are so much more active. Howevor, there is a disposition amongst many members of the trade to leave potatoes very much alone, as they have been a ticklish crop to deal with in the past few years.
