, WELLINGTON MARKET REPORT. ! — i (Special to “ Tribune.”) Wellington, July 12. The New Zealand Farmers’ Co-opera-tive Distributing Co., Ltd., report as follows: — Potatoes have taken a sharp advance. The chance of successful trad? with Australia is considered in some quarters to be good, and this has been responsible for the position. We, however, do not think the prospect is vert bright of exporters being able to comply with Australian import conditions, and we think values will decline shortly. Good quality onions are in good demand. The recent cold weather has been responsible for a sharp advance in the price of eggs. We do not think this will be long maintained. Preserved eggs are in short supply also, and consignments are advised. Porkers continue in good demand. Poultry is, somewhat easier, with larger supplies. Chaff is slow of sale. There is practically no change in grain. Stocks of meal arts now replenished, and better quotations can be made. Cooking and dessert apples and all other fruits are in good demand.
