CANTERBURY PRODUCE LATEST MARKET REPORTS. r*.- .....e ,«nrTATIO». CHRISTCHURCH. March 1. In tho Canterbury markets the general tone is very depressed. Outside business has been hampered by the strike, but in anv “case little was in prospect. Merchants are stocked up with practically all classes of products from last year, and a clearance will have to bt .effected before there is any movement towards meeting the present season’s oflers. Wheat is coming in fairly freely, late samples showing an improvement in quality. Nevertheless there will be a much bigger proportion of fowls feed this season. Little of the new season’s oats is ofle.r. ing, principally because of merchants being disinclined to talk business# Algerian are weak, there being considerable local stocks of old season’s oats. Barley is worth Ts to 7s Id at country stations. Though discoloured in many cases the grain is firm and well ripened. There is no movement in grass seeds. There has been some inquiry from Auckland for potatoes for March delivery, and a small amount of business has been done at ,£5 per ton at country stations. The current quotations for main crop delivery is from 2E4 to 264 4s, end there is a better feeling in regard to potatoes than is the case with other product’. Onions have eased in price, and ate now- worth ,£4 to J2l 10s per ton at country stations THE LOCAL MARKETS I,AERY AND CO.'a REPORT.
