■•W ZEALAND FARMERS' COOPERATIVE DISTRIBUTING CO., LTD. toeekly"repob,t. Special to The Horowhenua Chronicte. Wollinyton, August 2, 1912. Potatoes are in larger supply, with nLightly weakening tendency. We liavo reason to believe that sufficient supplies will be available thr-oughout tho bafcuice of the season. Wβ anticipate a pronounced fall an valu&s in a few .weeks' time. Good quality onions are now very sea-rce, and shipments ere diie from California and Japan. The sharp drop in β-ggs which we indicated tost week has taen place, and given reasonably fine weather there is ovkory prospect df spring values ruling from now on. Tliere' has been a. marked shortage i nsupplios of pork th e last two weeks,a nd the domantl is far froin met. Poultry is in. good enqiKiy, and. turkeys aro in specia Idemand. CJiafl' is in steady sale, but trade in grains in quiet. Tho severe weather in tho Boutli ias had tlie effect of lessoning tho supplies of pollaKcl, but stocks of barley and other meals are available to take its p%ice. Fruijt of all kinds sell readily, Australian importations bringing high values. Vegetables are scarce table carrots being particularly high while swedes and pnmpkins are in poor supply.
