The Produce Market
RATES IN CANTERBURY LITLT BUSINESS DOING. (Per Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Interest on the local grain, and produce markets now centres on the growing crops rather than on the unsold remainder of last season’s crops. As a matter of fact very little of the crops last gathered has not changed hands. A visit to the country districts shows that, generally speaking, winter sown wheat is coining away fairly well, though a tinge of yellow in some of the ■wheat indicates too much wet and cold •weather. Everywhere a spell of warm weather is desired. So far as actual business is concerned, practically the only sales that are being made are of potatoes, for which there is a little better enquiry from Auckland, but the price is still very low —£1 10s to £1 15s a ton on trucks —so the Katoa will leave Lyttelton on Monday night with potatoes for Auckland. The Waimarino, which loft Lyttelton last Tuesday night for Auckland, took nearly 2000 sacks. The season is now almost finished. There is nothing doing in any other line, and prices remain unchanged.
