COMMERCIAL
PRODUCE MARKETS QUIET BUSINESS IN GISBORNE Gisborne produce markets as they concern wholesale shipment are very quiet at present, with little business passing. The maize market is weak. Most of the quotations remain at 3s 3d from Gisborne merchants, but business is not possible at this figure. A quieter tone is reported in the rye grass seed market than that which prevailed a few weeks ago. Although stocks of first harvest seed are now practically exhausted, permanent pasture and mother seed have not firmed to any extent. No change in vames is expected, unless there is a greatly reduced crop during the coming season. Capo barley stocks are practically exhausted, with quotations firm at up to 3s 6d per bushel. The market for chaff is quieter, as a result of the growth of spring grass, and only small business is passing at £6 10s to £7 10s per ton for locally grown supplies, ex store, and £8 a ton for South Island.
