SOUTHERN GRAIN MARKETS

Ghristchurch, January 29. [ A fair quantity of wheat is offering, mostly from early ripened crops, therefore light in grain. However, some samples aro fairly plump, considering the season. The sales effected were chiefly at 5s to Gs 2d, and, in odd cases, a little more was paid. Millers aro not anxious to begin to stock up on account of the strong position held by Australian wheat. The flour market is very firm. Oats are coming on the market. Gartons are selling up to os 3d at country stations. Southland merchants are quoting oats at 3s f.o'.b.
