WOOL PAYMENTS DUE TO-DAY CANTERBURY REALISATION .MOKE THAN £1,000,000 Prompt, date for the second Christchurch wool sale is at 2 p.m. this afternoon, when the farmers of Canterbury will be richer by £629,436. The realisations from the first two sales of the season together total £1,065,368, or more than double the realisation of £483,978 for the first two sales last year, and the £424,330 realised for Ihe first two sales in 1331-32. The extra realisation last year over !h:it of the year before was clue in tcnic measure to the added exchange premium, which came into operation before the second sale. Values on a Merlins basis operated for the first .■;:! c, when values were extremely low. I

Even without the exchange premium, the prices received for line wools this year would have been high enough to allow the grower to recover expenses and something beside, but if the exchange were not kept on, the producer of coarse wools would find it a dinicult proposition to show a profit. Many growers of coarse wool consider that Iho price is not yet high enough to allow them to sell, and at the second sale here nearly all the t passings were among (lie lower crossbirds.

| | high prices are j EXPECTED I A WELLINGTON OPINION A bright outlook for the potato mars ket is seen by Messrs F. N. R. Meadows and Son, of Wellington, who write as i. follows, under date February s: 3 *p ur opinions in the matters mentioned 1 below have been formed as a result 2 of our experience with the consumers t of potatoes in and round Wellington I city and also our contact with eoml mercial and private growers to whom we supply seed potatoes. We antici- ■ the nr«l t PriCCS %£ P otatoe S during the present year. The factors leading i to thi S opinion are as follows: • son 6 "r P" ticuL "ly that this sea--1 fess fhL it%°L Seed P° tat °es were vpart mi ■ those of the previous S; ar ,(f in co , nvers ation with other thattfw e V r ? 1 the "formation drSn a L f l g " re ®, showed a similar . , °P-,^ to this the fact that inresulted gather destroyed many crops! lu °4 r having incessant calls ' twLk quarters for seed potatoes in th-,t Cr 3! i January. So much so tJ? 1 t ende avoured, unsuccessfully o purchasCr seed potatoes from Canmand m January to su PPly the deA smaller crop at Pukekohe was lapidly cleaned up and whereas last ye o r P\ lke kohes were selling at as low .as 2s 6d a sugar bag in Wellington, this year they were unprocurable at times, northern merchants taking orders onlv lor open price and delivery. We have seen Pukekohes bring 10s a bag this season. The higher prices ruling during January in Wellington have tempted ocal growers to dig before the potatoes were ready, causing the vield to reduce considerably. We had a letter from one of our large buyers of seeci advising that the average yield for his district was only from one ton to 25cwt an acre, due to the lone spell of dry weather. Rata Suttons opened two weeks ago at £7 10s a ton on trucks, Rata, but were so rapidly snapped up that the price is now £9 10s on trucks Rata, or equal to £lO 5s a ton Wellington cost We were advised that seven trucks of potatoes left Rangitikei last -week | for Auckland at these prices, so that! Aucklanders are suffering an acute' shortage also. Hnwke's Bav have a' limited quantity available at prices equivalent to Rangitikei and in con-1 I versation with a Hastings merchant wc drew the information that their crops ' wi y -r. be ex hausted soon. Both Nelson and Blenheim are short ol' supplies and are buying from Wellington. j

DISPLACEMENT OF MARGARINE Mr F. Warren, managing director o£ J. and J. Lonsdale and Company (London), Ltd., who is visiting Australia in the course of an Empire tour, informed an interviewer that, if present low prices continued for Australian and New Zealand butter, distributors in Great Britain would be able to maintain the increased consumption of butter by the poorer classes. A few years ago 5000 tons of butter and 5000 tons of margarine were consumed in Great Britain each week. At present the weekly consumption was 9000 tons of butter and 3000 tons of margarine. Mr Warren said that his firm, which was one of the largest dairy produce distributors in Great Britain, was encouraging the use of Empire products. Present low prices on the London market had been caused chiefly by the increase of supplier, and the narrowing of European markets by quotas and other restrictions. The only means of meeting the change was the maintenance of prices low enough to stimulate sales to the poorer classes. Regularity of supply '.'.'as essential.
