THE GRAIN AND SEED REPORT.
Messrs Samuel Orr and Co., Stafford street, Report for the week ending August- 17 as follows : —
Beautiful spring weather locally, but in North Otago and Canterbury heavy rain and enow ha?e fallen, and consequently the drought there broken.
The market for all cereals is quiet, and only a hand-to-mouth business in everything. We look forward, however, to the opening of next incoith altering matters, as millers especially cannot go on their stocks much longer. Inquiries have been made from the north for Syduey wheat, and with an easier market in the latter than ruling presently it would be within iheir reach to ship here.
