CANTERBURY MARKETS
(HI TtLEGEAPH.—PRHSS ASSOCIATION.)
CHBISTCHXJRGH. 23rd March;
Wheat has been coming forward very slowly during the week. Most of the crop is yet .in stack, but as threshing operations are being carried on in all districts the stream of supply should set in next week. Oats are offering freely, but the market As not so keen. Algerians have eased on account of North Island buyers obtaining Australian dressed lines, which has reflected on the Canterbury market to an extent. The' prices locally have dropped lfi per bushel on the quotations of two weeks ago. Prices at present are not stable, and only a few forward sales have been made. The price of cocksfoot has receded about threepence per lb, and it is difficult to get merchants to operate at much above la per lb. Better prices are prevailing for clovers. The barley maiket is quiet, but firm. Potatoes are not yet in much demand, and there are no buyers for onions.
