SOUTHERN PRODUCE
EXCELLENT WHEAT CROPS
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, November 25. Though it is too early yet to obtain any conclusive indication, prospects for the coming season look very good. The acreage of wheat in Canterbury may not be as large as it was last season, but crops are in excellent condition, and it is expected that an improved yield will offset any reduction in area. Growth on Banks Peninsula has been exceptional, and this promises well for the cocksfoot crop.
Business in the Canterbury grain and produce markets is stagnant. The only lines for which there is any demand are dun oats and chaff, but these are practically unprocurable. Quotations are unchanged. Merchants' stocks of all lines are very small, and pi'ices to farmers in the coming season should be satisfactory.
