PRODUCE MARKETS
JHRISTCHURCH By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, December 8. The week has not assisted to clarify the position as to crop prospects. The ryegrass crop is likely to be much smaller and this is firming ideas of values. amount of export is now small, but values have firmed slightly. Perennial is quoted at up to 2 9 a bushel on trucks, and Italian from 2/6 to 3/- for best quality. The cocksfoot market is also reacting to the dry conditions, and a reduced crop is anticipated. Akaroa is quoted up to 7d per lb, and Plains from 6d to 65 d, though there is very little business passing. In the oats market there is a tendency towards a stronger tone. A grade Gartons are quoted at 2/5 to 2/6 f.o.b. s.i. Lyttelton. The dry season in Marlborough is directing attention to the prospects of the chaff market, which has been neglected for some time. There is no appreciable alteration in quotations, however. Potatoes are attracting little interest. Main crop quotations range about £3/10/- f.o.b. s.i., but no business is reported at this figure. Growers are not tempted by the quotation. The fowl wheat market is firm at 3/6 f.o.b. s.i., both for prompt and forward.
