SO UTIIEIIN MARKETS
[IM,lt IMIISSS ASSOCIATION.]
Christchurch, July 22
The wheat market is maintaining its (iriiuiess. Few sales are taking place. Odd lines of Tuscan are changing hands, but there is very little Hunter's or Pearl coming forward, and the latter is increasing in value. There is such a .scarcity of locallygrown oats that no business can be done in llieni. and the demand for oatslieaf chaff.,is purely local. The fact that some 17,000 sacks of potatoes have gone to Auckland by the last three steamers from the South Island has filled up that market, for the time being, and no fresh business can lie obtained at present. The market is therefore easier. In consequence of buyers being indilferent about making purchases, a few further sales have been made at £0 at country stations during the last lew days, and it is now very doubtful if the. growers' hope of obtaining £7 for August delivery will be realised.
