RANGIORA.

A fairly heavy rain fell during Thursday nighft throughout the district, and again yesterday, which will be most acceptable to the country as a. whole. In the grain market there has been fair business passing 1 , but values have not properly settled down. "With regard to the quality it is satisfactory, considering the dry season, but there are some light samples, as was only to be expected. Wheat has been seiiiiut. at 3s 3d to

3s 3Jd per bushel, oats at 2s to 2s 2d. The samples of the latter vaiy a good deal, according to the district they were grown in. Chaff is nominally worth £3 per ton for oatsheaf, but there is not much offering yet, owing to farmers being too busy with harvest woik. Potatoes to the present are only m a retail iiade, at Id per lb. Ryegrass seed up to now has been fieely offered, but the market is weak, and buyers have eased off put chasing pending further developments and until the autumn sowing sets in; the puces range fiom 2s 6d to 3s 3d per bushel.
