CHBISTCHUBCH, August 18. There is a little enquiry for wheat but no-business is reported as buyers are nob ■ prepared to give the prices asked. A fair amount of business is doing in seed oats and barley, and apparently, the area sown this spring will be fairly large. Chaff is not very brisk of sale, a little business still being done with Australia. There "is not much demand for potatoes, and • until the Auckland market requires farther supplies there is not much prospect of improvement.
