THE POTATO MARKET. RESTRICTED DEMAND FROM AUCKLAND. By Tel egraoh-.-Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 30. The potato market shows no change during the week, values being £6/5/f.o.b.s.i. for whites, with on truck values at £5/5/-. Dakotas are meeting with a healthier demand at £6/15/- f.0.b.5.i., and £5/15/- on trucks. The Wingatui, which sailed on Wednesday, took a total cargo of 7390 sacks from both ports—229o from Timaru and 5100 from Lyttelton. A fair quantity of the local shipment was from store. The cargo will amply supply Auckland needs in the meantime, and inquiry from the north is restricted.
The scarcity of fowl wheat is causing a very firm market in that commodity, quotations being 5/- to 5/- f.0.b.5.e., Lyttelton. Oats are in small supply, and southern importations are being made for seed.
Chaff is unchanged at £3/10/- a ton on trucks.
