CANTERBURY MARKETS
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, Friday
The quiet period for Canterbury markets continues, not even potatoes showing the liveliness expected of them. There has been a little demand for Dakotas, which have advanced about 4/ per ton, being now qoted at £4 10/ at country stations, which is eciual to about £5 10/ to £5 15/ f.0.b., s.i. The position regarding white potatoes is unaltered, although there is still some demand from Auckland. The Kaimanawa is taking from 2000 to 2500 sacks for Auckland. The next steamer for that port is expected to sail from Lyttelton in a week's time. There is no change to report so far as wheat is concerned. A fair quantity continues to change hands, millers having no difficulty in filling requirements. Partridge peas are experiencing a very dull period. The price offered for them is 4/9 to farmers, equal to 5/6 f.0.b., s.i. There is no change to report in the seed market.
