CANTERBURY MARKETS.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) ' CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Steady business continues in the export of ryegrass seed. Values are unchanged, good Italian and perennial being worth up to 2/6 a bushel on trucks. Italian seed is going from Canterbury, and most of the perennial from Southern quarters. English offers for cowgrass are still on the low side to permit export. Values to farmers are 8d to 9d per lb. There is very little white clover now in farmers' hands. The market for it is quiet. The cocksfoot market is firm. Akaroa is worth 6d per lb to farmers, and Plains sd. Little interest exists in the potato market, and values remain unaltered. Small lots are - going North, and in diminishing quantities. Whites are quoted nominally at £3 a ton f.0.b., sacks inc'l'ded, and Dakotas at £3 15/ to £3 17/6.
