The Produce Market
POSITION IN CANTERBURY OFF SEASON FOR GRAIN (Per Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. The present is the off season on the local grain and produce markets. A short time since, there were indications that linseed growers would, be assured of a payable price for next season’s crop, and forward sales up to £l4 10s a ton were made, but since then there has been a lowering in world values and no more forward business is being done. The slackness on the potato market continues, and it is not expected that it will recover. Sales have been made as low as £1 12s 6d a ton. The Waimarino was expected to leave Lyttelton to-night with a few hundred sacks for Auckland.
The value of oats shows little change. There is nothing doing in Canterbury oats, which are quoted nominally at 4s f.o.b. 5.1., Lyttelton. A Gartons are quoted at 3s 7d f.0.b., Dunedin, and at. 3s 5d at Bluff. Good bright chaff is quoted at £4 10s to £4 15s a ton on trucks.
So far as wheat is concerned, the opinion is expressed that the area sown this year is about the same as that sown last year, but nothing definite on this point will be known until the official statistics are published. There is nothing doing in small seed.
