GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
CANTERBURY MARKETS,
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day
Owing to the near _oproach of carnival week business in the produce markets is at a standstill. Fowl wheat is rather weaker on account of improved cropprospects and is now quoted at 5/B'/4 f.o.b. Milling wheat is quoted at 5/9 on trucks, or 6/1 f.0.b., s.i. There is little inquiry for oats, and although the area under crop last season was much reduced, a substantial carry-over seems probable. The movement toward decreased acreage is likely to be even more pronounced this season. The chaff market is faiidy firm at up to £5 12/6, f.0.b., s.i. Peas are quoted at 6/ a bushel, f.0.b., s.i. Other seeds are at mid-week quotations. A few potatoes went north during the week, but Auckland is now making little inquiry. The needs of Southern markets probably will absorb all the potatoes now in farmers' hands. Prices remain at £11 f.0.b., s.i., or £9 10/ on trucks.
