"The demand for. wheat for shipping has now been satisfied, and the only buyers on. the market are local millers and merchants. Though there is not a keen inquiry, millers are prepared to take any auitable lota offering. Since the rain growers t are inclined to offer, a -little more freely, though there is no great quantity on the market. For damaged wheat there is no demand except for fowl feed. . ■ , Oats are very firm in consequence of the good demand from the North Ishjnd. There are, however,: practically none offering locally,. and any lots that have been for sale in the country have found buyers among farmers, who were short of feed. ; Chaff is also very firm and no great quantity is offering. Ryegrass is still In good demand, and all hopes of securing anything like a crop in Canterbury has been given up. The dry season is likely to affect the cocksfoot crop on the lower country in the peninsula, but on the hilltops, which get the benefit of the mist«, the crop promises to be very fair. ■ • ■ «•; ■; ' ' , .
