CANTERBURY MARKETS
(BT rUEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
.CHRISTCHURCH, 29th July. There has been very little change in (he Canterbury markets since the weekend. _ A tew over-sellei-s in potatoes are covering their commitments for the month, and this has given the market a firmer tone, but with practically no change in values. Week-end cabled quotations from Melbourne showed a slight advance, confirming private information received t'.uving the week. The range in the quotations was wide, from £3 to £4 ss; but as it is only the soundest potatoes that are 'shipped the latter price, or near it, need only be taken I'otiee of as affecting this market. This would appear to be an advance of about 10s per ton. However, this is not likely to affect the heavy consignments previously arranged for, although it may restrict future operations. Values to farmers are about £4 on trucks.
Oats are very firm, and the few farmers holding any aip aeking big prices. Chaff also is very firm.
