Tallow.—Scarce, and in demand, at £36 to £4O, according to condition, Farm Produce has a slight downward ten dency ; the fact of the Northern Ports being supplied with grain from foreign ports, and the millers being full-handed, accounts for a lull in the markets, Oats in no demand. I quote wheat at 4s 9d; oats, 5s 6d; flour, £l6 ; bran, £7 10s; and sharps, £8 15s per ton; hay, £5; peas, none in the market; carrots, £2 per ton, Landed Properties,—Many valuable proper ties offering, but few changing hands. LABOUR MARKET. Since the publication of our ordinary sum mary for despatch by the Suez mail, the ship Bombay has arrived with immigrants, having reached Lyttelton on August 18. She brought 9 married couples, 19 single men, and 93 single women, The men reached the immigration barracks on the Lincoln Road on August 20, andithe women on August 21. A large number of employers were waiting their arrival. The majority of the married couples and the single men went to their friends, as did also a few of the single women. The wages for married couples engaged at the barracks averaged £7O ; for single men, from £35. to £6O; and for single women from £ls to £35, the former rate being for a nurse girl. One .superior cook was engaged on board the vessel at Lyttelton,for£s2. The single women who went to the barracks were all engaged within three days after arrival. There are very few applications for married couples and single men. The demand for single women continues much as before; while hardly so great in Christchurch and its immediate neighbourhood, strong, active girls for the country districts are urgently inquired for. It must be borne in mind, however, that bo recently after the arrival of a large num ber of single women, the demand is not so great. We have no doubt that the single women expected by the Blue Jacket, due in October, will meet with ready engagements at good wages, especially if they are equal to those sent out by the Bombay, of whom, since their arrival, report speaks very highly. At the present time there are 15 applications on the books at the Female Home for good general servants and cooks, the wages for the former being from £25 to £3O, and for the latter £35 to £45.
