CHRISTCHUROH GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Christchubch, Friday. Millers appear to be well stocked and no sales of wheat are reported to have taken place during the last few days. Oats are easier, though few are coming forward, but the price is dependent upon London value*, and exporters have had to reduce their limits in accordance with the Home advices. Quotations are now a penny below those of last week, but there has been a renewed inquiry for rye grass, and the price of Italian is firmer in view of the, crop not being its large, as anticipated. A few samples of cow grass have been submitted, and the opening prices quoted are 6d and 6id. v There is not much business doing in potatoes or onions. For potatoes up to £3 10s has been paid at near stations.
