CANTERBURY PRODUCE.
A QUIET TIME. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The grain and produce market is lifeless.' Values for potatoes have declined since the mid-week, prompt f.0.b., s.i., rates being £6 and offers, to farmers £4 10/" oil trucks. ' The wheat market remains dull. "Pool" prices are 6/5, f.o.b. Fowl wheat is worth 5/11%, f.o.b. Prices for oats are unchanged, with little inquiry. Chaff, no doubt on account of the lateness of the season in the North as well as the Soutti Island, is in permanent request and numerous sales have been made at £7 a ton, f.0.b., s.i., or 5/ to 5/5 on trucks. All classes of seeds are held firmly. It is inevitable with the shortage of feed that fewer paddocks will be closed up for seed, and the crop in sight for next season is practically certain to be affected, particularly in the case of ' Akaroa cocksfoot, where, under ordinary conditions, the paddocks would be closed up a month ago.
