CANTERBURY MARKETS.
QUIET TONE PREVAILS. (By telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHUECH, JViday. The grain and produce market remains very quiet. Quotations are unaltered, though values in all classes of small seeds, fowl wheat and partridge peas remain firm. Very little interest is being shown in 'the oats or chaff market. The Waimarino lifted slightly more than 5000 sacks of potatoes at Lyttelton yesterday, in addition to 1400 from Timaru. This shipment is large enough to delay any volume of inquiry from the North. Prices remain at £3 12/6 f.o-.b., sacks included, for prompt delivery, and £3 15/ for August-September delivery. Values on trucke are 20/ leas. Fowl feed remains firm at from 3/5% to 3/6, f.0.b., sacks extra. Partridge peas continue firm at 4/ on trucks. A fair amount of business has been done for export. Chaff is quoted at £4 a ton, f.0.b., sacks included. Anjnquiry has set in from Auckland for onions, the market for which has been lifeless for some time. i
