CANTERBURY PRODUCE.
POTATO MARKET VERY FIRM. CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. The potato market is very firm, mainly jecause four steamers are due to clear with !v T ew Zealand potatoes for South America ivithin the next three weeks. The lemand from within this country is not dig. It is reported that part of the space oooked on the earlier overseas -boats has Siad to be cancelled because wet weather has held up digging and deliveries of sxport potatoes are consequently slow. Farmers are also disposed to hold for higher prices, and many have refused £6 on trucks. Reports from South Canterbury indicate that the crops are turning out very much better than was expected. The I yields in many districts there have been phenomenal, in some cases better than can be remembered. North Canterbury crops are not heavy, but are fairly good. There is an excellent demand for fowl wheat, but supplies are very short. The onion market continues completely lifeleas.
