Judging by reports received from Itome thorfe 'is a distinct improvement in the grain business, but us far as the Tiniara uiiirket# are concerned this had had no reflection, and there is no ftp- . p<WT>nt. firrninn: ht-re. It is understood that fairly good quality wheat ha* been bought i'r< "n North Canterbury *t -to. £te '2d

Timaru, sacks extra. Prime Velvet i* still being sought after but is difficult to obtain, and as tide Wheat is evidently in small compass it will probably have an intrinsic value of its own later on. On the other hand millers are apparently overstocked with Tl» can and are only buying if available at a little over the 3s level. Practically no wheat is moving homeward just now, but a change can bo expected. The Arawa at the beginning of the week took 3000 sacks on aooount of Messrs T. Buxton and Co., this being tho only shipment since the Edendale's loading early in May. Fowl wheat is worth 2s 6d to 2« 7d per bushel ex store. No oats aro offering and there ie no' inquiry. Business at this tin» odt the year is generally very dull, in so far as shipments to the North Island are concerned, but as soon as forward shipments from the Bluff hare been completed it is probable that a little moro activity may be displayed. Pre-, sent values are Gartons Is 10d, delivered Timaru, aocks extra, Danish and Duns Is BJd to Is 9d. Potatoes aro said to be worth £5 to £6 5s f.o.b. for prime samples, though some Timaru merchant® profees to hare bought good lines at £4 10s f.o.b. There is little doing however.
