DEPRESSED POTATO MARKET
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, October 21. There has been little change in the Canterbury grain and produce markets since the last report. The potato market continues completely lifeless. Growers are still offering stocks, but there is no demand. Some merchants report that they have not had a single inquiry for potatoes for a fortnight. Hopes of some slight revival of interest in this market a little later are still held because the new crop in Canterbury is late, but any demand that does develop will be insufficient to make any appreciable difference to growers' surplus stocks.
