CANTERBURY MARKETS
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, 12th June. I The market for all classes of produce is very quiet. Potatoes have not yet ceased to slip in price, and Whites have actually been sold at. 32s 6d a ton on trucks, the prompt f.0.b., s.i., price being £2 10s to £2 12s 6d. Under the influence of the cheap rates for Whites, Dakotas are vjsry difficult to quit, and a sale was made to-day at £1 7s 6d a ton on trucks. The North Island is not yet making any inquiry. Traders are apparently confident that sufficient potatoes will go north on consignment to meet all needs. Both milling and fowl wheat is inclined to be easier. Millers are buying very little milling wheat. There is no movement in either the oats or chaff market, and the damand for seeds is lifeless.
