LITTLE BUSINESS DOING. Per Pres* Association. CHRISTCHURCH. December 9: The amount of business that is being done at present is small; indeed all lines are being apparently affeoted, and it is likely that trade will continue dull until nltter the New Year, p Somte forward business is being done in potatoes, but generally speaking this class of business _has not yet attained any big dimensions. Even forward regrass business petered out, there being plenty of sellers bat no buyers. Cocksfoot is stationary, and so also is clover. Nothing is being done in. potatoes, nor is it expected that orders of any size will tome to hand until the new crops oome forward. . CUSTOMS REVENUE. The Customs revenue received at the port of Wellington yesterday aggregated .£6124.
