MORE INQUIRY FOR POTATOES.
THE GROWING WHEAT CROPS.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Christchurch, Last Night.
» Interest in the local grain and produce markets now centres oh the growing crops rather than on the unsold remainder of last season’s crops. As a matter of fact very little of the crops last gathered has not changed hands. A visit to the country districts shows that generally speaking winter sown wheat is coming away fairly well, though a tinge of yellow in some of the' wheat indicates too much wet and cold weather. Everywhere a spell of warm -weather is desired. So far as actual business is concerned practically the only sales that are being made are of potatoes, for which there is a little better inquiry fropi Auckland, but the price is still very low, £1 10s to £1 15s a ton, on trucks. The Katoa will leave Lyttelton on ■ Monday night with potatoes for Auckland. The Waimariho, which left Lyttelton last Tuesday night for Auckland took nearly 2000 sacks. The season is now almost finished.
