COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CHRISTCHURCH [bt telegraph. I

June 10. The week has been of the most uneventful character. The business done has neither been of an extensive nature nor do the prices sho«r improvement on the rates ruling for some time past. Wheat presents much the t»""» features as the previous week. Values remain at 3s 3d to 3s 6d for good and 3s 6d for best quality. The (piwnlj of feed lots is abundant. Oats are without alteration. Good feed we quote at Is 2d to Is 3d; for best milling a better has been experienced, but prices are not in any way. For this class of oats Is 4d to Is 4sd is quoted. Barley re-mmmi-rtm hard to quit; first class, of which little comes forward, 3s 3d to 3s 6d; good malting ranges between 23 6d and 3s; other prices very wide. Flour is quoted at 7,0 to JuIO, according to brand. Potatoes t ■ »"> being offered at 275, but the inquiry is mot over brisk. Butter commands 9d to lOd ; cheese, 4d to 4i<l. The attendance of buyers at Addmgton Tarda on Wednesday was very satisfactory. Generally speaking, the competition for the various lota was brisk. The supply of stock was targe, except good qualify store cattle, which were scarcely eqoal to requirements. J£ntfon realised a rise of about Is 6d, and nay be quoted at slightly over 2d per lb. Prime beef, 18s 6d per lOOlbs.
