GRAIN AND PRODUCE. CHRISTCHURCH MARKETS. (Special to the "Guardian.") CHRISTCHUjrea, This Day. The Labour Day holiday kept the grain and produce markets quiet, as there has been little business since Friday. There was no change yesterday in the potato market, which is very quiet indeed. The demand for Dakotas and Suttons from Wellington keeps up, and there is evidence of a demand for whites from coastal ports. Auckland is making few inquiries. The rain of tho past .icw days has held up deliveries, but this is not likely to have much effect on the market as Auckland seems to have enough to go on with. The other markets are quiet.
