PER TRESS ASSOCIATION. CHRISTCHURCH, February G. In the Canterbury markets there has been a fair amount of business done in new season's pats. The keen North Island inquiry, for Algerians oats. has slackened somewhat, spies having been recorded of good bright seed at as ».t country stations. As immediate requirements have been filled in the north there is little likelihood of this figure being exceeded In future business, .Aor{ K island merchants are not disposed to trfldc very extensively at the figure quoted.

..A fair amount of Clarions is coming ill, and has been purchased on a basis from -Is 3d to 2s 6d fur a particularly line sample at country stations. Meijrchants are not being rushed at a turn over price on their values, and' purchasers are largely speculative. Some p.re asking up to as at country stations, but there is no business doing at Lius eK iW-ed chaff is in keen inquiry, and purchases have- been made at .G. 10s to JS .at country station*. but there is very' little available. New chaff i= worth A 6 5s at wayside centres, Bariev ’is making its appearance in considerable quantity. There have been some excellent yields; in some cases over 7o bushels to the acre, and the sample is exceptionally good. Business, .-o far, has been between growers and brewers with fairly wide ranges, but 7s 6d u't country stations about represents current quotations. Cocksiout has eased somewhat, although values are still up to Is lor a good, clean, undressed sample, 'iiiree shipments of dressed Danish cocksfoot arrived in Auckland last week, and sold on a basis of la 3’id per lb, which forecasts an easing of local values. Onions are coming to hand, and last week were worth All at country stations. The increase in supplies is reducing values, and A 3 per ton represents to-day’s market. There are no new season's potatoes worth speaking of. On a market limited business has been done at JET 5s to A‘7 10s at country stations for March and April delivery. WELLINGTON CUSTOMS.
