Tho potato market showed little change until to-day, when there was a tendency toward lower values. Yesterday business was done at £3 15s, and to-day £3 10s to £3 12s 6d is quoted, with Dakotas £4 ss. There is practically no inquiry from tho north, and shipments represent consigned potatoes. The IVaimarino on Thursday night took 2800 sacks from Lyttelton, and with 1700 from Timaru, 4500 sacks went north. There are still fair quantities of potatoes left in some districts, but the opinion is that there will be a clean up by the end of the season. The extent of the decline in tho potato trade with the North Island is remarkable, as is shown in the following figures: From Lyttelton for the past four years. 1933, 96,080; 1932, 143,586; 1931, 247,997; 1930. 279,509. During the present season 40,000 sacks have been exported from Lyttelton and Timaru to South America. The reduced shipments to the north indicate the extent to which production has increased in tho other island. Last year there, was .a heavy disposal of seed north, but this season the quantity has been small, from which it may be inferred that the northern growers are using their own seed. Fowl wheat is unchanged at 3s 6d. Lyttelton : better than grade, 3s 7d. No. 1 partridge peas are worth 3s 6d a bushel on trucks, but there is no inquiry for export. Oats are not engaging any attention. The small seeds market is lifeless, quotations being unaltered.
