GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKETS QUIET. T,V CHRISTCHURCH, Oct. 12. I As .the export of potatoes is now noarin/? a finish, there is' little if l ' the grain and produce market to ;slaim attention. Tho Whan gape is ; duo lo sail to-morrow for Sydney, but her cargo Is not yet known. It twill probably comprise up to_ 7000 [ sacks from Lyttelton, in addition to I tho Tirnaru complement, variously i estimated at from 3500, to 5000 sacks. Departure of a later boar, this month is dependent on the space booked, though it is believed that tho sound state of tho Sydney market will result in another .shipment being made. For tho Whangape up to lit! per ton f.ob., 5.1., was paid, and the price to farmers on (rucks for the export trade is nominally £3. The Katoa is duo lo sail next, week for Auckland, and potatoes by her are worth up to £4 per ton f.0.b., 5.1., or £2 10s on ~ i.rks. There in little interest at tho moment.
Seeds are being disposed of in retail lots, but the wholesale market is very stagnant. Wheat sales are confined to the poultry trade, millers being practically out of the market for what littlo wheat is offering.
