CHRISTCHURCH CORN EXCHANGE.

The followlo^ is tho Christclmrch Corn Exohango roport for tho week ending Friday, Juno 7th, 1889 — Grain and prodnco business during the week lias been of a, very limited character. The Sydney market for both wheat and potatoes shows a decline on previous week's values, and the spurt m tho Melbourne oat raarkot has but "lightly affected this market. At presont Victoria is drawing her supplies from Dunedin and tho Bluff, whilo thorn id a better inclination among buyers to do business. Prico3 have not altered. Barley is again dull, although but fow samples of prime aro offerinir. Cocksfoot has a fair enquiry for really prime heavy need : tbo bnlk of tho seed is out of growers' bamis. Kyegrass. on tho other hand, is exceedingly qniet. Dairy produce remains dull. We "fear that we shall ngain liavo to look to London for our main outlet, as Sydney appears completely glutted. Factorymade dow is tuo only kind of Now Zealand that finds any sale at aU'with our neighbours. The shipping reouirements appear to bo plonty for tho Sydney'markots, and for London thcro is abundance of freight offering at 255.
