GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS.

j (Christchurch Press, Wednesday). The only inquiry in the local grain market has been for' oats, and this appears' to have eased off somewhat. j For the only line repented to have | been offered 3s at a country station ? was asked. No supplies of new oats | have yet been placed upon the marj ket, but some new oatsheaf chaff is » now ready. For old chaff the demand | .has eased off, as North Island buyers f decline to pay the price that is now "i quoted, in view of the new season's f produce being shortly available. Old chaff has been ruling 'at £4 10s at country stations, but buyers say they N I cannot now do business at this figure. J i The recent rain will do the growing I .cereal'and root crops a great amount 'j of good, as it lias not so far been ■ followed by parching winds as was ; generally the case with the rains that I fell during December.
