CANTERBURY MARKET

OATS PRICES DECLINE. Per Press -Association. CHRISTCHURCH. January 16. At the Canterbury markets heavy offerings of Algerian oats are already, being made to merchants. The market naturally is slipping.back. A week ago quotations to farmers were in the region of 39 r -per bushel, and to-day they are from Is--fid to 2s Bd. A number of ■ sales have taken place at 2s §d- A few Gartons have" been offered and they are al<s easing in price. To-day the quotations for B’s are down to 3s, 6)d f.0.b., s.i., or from 2e 9d to 2s lOd on trucks. Although, the . fields-’ of white oats are' likely to bp high it is not so certain that-the area is-large. The delugo of:' Algerians is due to the, fine spring feeding' ofi being unnecessary, whilst Gartons at seed time were a costly proposition. ■ ‘ . < Merchants- are being offered substantial quantities of Italian ryegrass. ; To-day's qnotatum is 2s 9d to 3s. There is little peiennial ryegrass being offered so far, and the market is firmer than the Italian or .-Western Wolths. From 3t to 3s 3d on trucks is being quoted. Cocksfoot growers report that the crop-is bn the dirty side, and the yields will be light. Quotations are 9d per lb qn trucks, or 13d f.o.b;, s.i. for dressed. \ The pea crops look particularly well, but the area-is small tnSp year. Up to -Ts aibushel, f.0.b,, s.i./Oil trucks at present; m the quotation. - There is .no export inquiry. , . ' '/Free” barley is bringing -the same price .as contract; 5s .per-bushel on trucks. The potato crop, over the wholfe of the province, is looking well. The' f.o.b: e.i. prices for the main crop delivery are frpm £5 5s to £5 15$ per ton, but no business ie doing. TUe> downpour of rain at the beginning of the week did' a g'6od deal of damage to the Marshland onion, .crop,’ and the prospects of, six weeks ago will not be realised. - ( There is no quotation yet for wheat.
