CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 14. In the interval caused by the local i olidays, there has been a. further advance in wheat of Id to 2d per bushel. There is, however, scarcely anything offering hy growers, and millers and merchants are (aiding it a more difficult matter to obtain wheat. AVith a reported surplus over the year’s requirements and witli only eight and a-half months of the wheat year gone, there should still he plenty available, hut no one seems to know where it is held. Not only is milling wheat scarce, huh fowl wheat is unprocurable, and orders can only lie filled with milling quality’. There is a good demand for fowl wheat from the North Island, and as with milling wheat prices, have eonsidefa'dy advanced. There is a good demand for [iotatoes from Auckland, hut supplies for shipping are now almost- exhausted. The price is now £lO to £lO 10s at country stations. Seed as well its table potatoes are being inquired for.
