GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
CHRISTCHURCH MARKETS QUIET.
Per Press Association
CHRISTCHURCH, Deo. 18. A seasonal pre-holiday quietness prevails in the grain and produce markets and very little business is passing. Transactions are mostly confined to fowl wheat, the market for which remains firm with supplies getting short. Quotations remain at ss, f.o.b. The cutting of oats commenced last week with early Algerians and a few of the crops are now in stook. Farmers are now keener to offer oats which they have held _ over. Some fairly large lines are being offered, but there have been no price movements to speak of. More chaff is now being offered at £3 to £3 5s on trucks, according to stations. Outside of the demand for certified ryegrn66 there is little doing in the seeds market. The potato crops for this time of year are reported to be looking exceptionally well.
