THE CHRISTCHURCH MARKETS. Per Press Association. CHBISTCHURCH, July 28. There is no business to report in the grain market, everything being practically at a standstill. There is very little demand for chaff and few orders are coming in for potatoes, as buyers lately obtained Mipplies from stocks bild in store by merchants. The Auckland people are Loping that the American fleet will require 100 tons but nothing definite will be known till it arrives. This quantity will Lave little effect upon the markets in face of the supplies that have gone forward. In the meantime local prices are easier though there are not many potatoes offering by growers.
