POTATO MARKET LITTLE EASIER. CANTERBURY QUOTATIONS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. \ Christchurch, Last Night. The potato market is a shade weaker, May-June delivery being quoted at £5 7s 6d f.ob. sacks in. Potatoes for deliveries in later months, July-September, are quoted at £7, but • buyers at this figure are very few. The Waipiata sailed to-day for Auckland with' 4100. sacks from the three . main . southern ports, Lyttelton’s contribution being 2950 sacks. - Fowl feed is worth about 4s SJd to 4s 9d, a few sales at th© latter, figure having taken place. The former figure is about the general quotation. Oats are not attracting much inquiry. Cowgrass is about penny a pound cheaper and is now worth lOd a lb. -Machinedressed Blenheim, seed of good quality is being offered at £5 15s per cwt. White clover shows little change in value, though there is an easier tendency. The crop is a very light one this season.
