CHRISTCHURCH CORN EXCHANGE.
The following is the Corn Exchange report (per Fred. Denham, secretary for the weekending 7th May 1892:—. It is most difficult to put a price on wheat this week, as the sellers and buyers are so wide apart in , their views of value, and the buyers are almost as much so between themselves. During the last few days we ha\ c had offers for a number of lines, and the difference between some of the offers lias been 4d to 5d per bushel. In addition the vexatious rejections at port are very annoying to all concerned, jputting the farmer in the position of having hiß grain thrown on his bands, and to pay a considerable charge for haulage, storage, and labour. This is money absolutely thrown away. A's all .the rejections will ultimately be shipped to some market, perhaps some other plan of sampling might be adopted and save useless expense, whicp, at the prices likely to rule in the near future, is a serious tax on producers. Barley : For local requirements the market is easier, but thera is a demand for shipping pur; poses. Oats : Milling parcels are asked 'for ; discoloured, market glutted. Potatoes hard to be placed at about 15s. Sydney reports look very bad. The following are the usual quotations :— Wheat : Prime Hunters, pearl, and Tuscan, 3s 4d to 3s 7d. Barley : Fair malting, 3s 6d. Oats : Milling, Is 8d ; feed, Is 4d to Is b'd. Beans, 3s Id. Pease, 3s. Cocksfoot : Good discoloured, 2Jd to 3d ; bright. 3Jd. Ryegrass : Machine-dressed, 3s 3d to 3s Get. Butter and cheese as last.
