There is nothing iresh to report in the grain market. No business is doing in wheat, and transactions in oata arc confined to merchants' sales, chiefly to North Island buyers. Several samples of new oats have been shown, and some are better than was expected. Growers are asking 4s per bushel at stations, but no sales are reported. Business in tbe new barley crop has not yet commenced, the samples submitted, being mostly very thin. Round about Blenheim there are some excellent crops of barley, but on other farms in Marlborough the crops are very poor.
