FOWL WHEAT SCARCE
POSSIBILITY OF IMPORTATION. MARKETS IN CANTERBURY. • By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Nov. 22. The grain and produce markets are very quiet, except for an intense interest in fowl wheat, of which stocks are short. The position is being watched with the greatest interest by the trade because practically no wheat is coming in from the country, and what little is held in store by merchants is being held firmly. The price has not moved up since the beginning of the week but fowl, wheat is. hard to buy. The possibility of Australian shipments for the South Island is being freely discussed. Potatoes are hard to procure but there is still a demand from Wellington, and offers of up to £ll 10s a ton f.o.b. have been received from there. The Canterbury market also is firm but with the break in the weather digging will increase and the market will slip. Pollard is scarce and the quotation has been raised 10s a ton. The small seeds trade is dull, the only business being in small orders of root seeds for the country.
