Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, August 30. Business has livened up during the past few days in 'both oats and seeds.

The inquiry may be temporary, tine to end of the month requirements, although the general impression is that the absence of oilers from farmers will prevent the market from easing. Super cowgrass is in very keen demand for export, and fair quantities have been snipped. This demand is being reflected in a firmer tone for secondary quality for local use. A fair area of new pasture is being out down throughout the province this season, and inquiry is coming in from farmers. It is believed that the crop is shorter than was anticipated. The sale of super cowgrass for export was at 170 s per cwt. (is 6d dressed). Good quality farmers’ is worth from Is Id to Is 2Jd per lb. Cocksfoot has also shown an improvement and prices have firmed during the past few days by about Id per lb. Good quality is worth, to farmers. 6}d to 7}d. A considerable inquiry has set in from the North Island. Italian ryegrass is also being inquired for from the north, and some business bas been done in this seed. THE PRODUCE MARKET.
