CANTERBURY MARKETS

A BUOYANT TONE.

FORWARD VALUES. (BT OUE COMMERCIAL BDITOH.) Friday Evening. The old season's produce being about exhausted, and the new season's some time off, matters generally are very quiet, and are likely to remain so for a few weeks. Most interest is directed to forward prices, and there is a limited amount of "nibbling'-' by merchants in various classes of products. Wheat. Thero is now little wheat in farmers' hands, and what there is commands a firm tone. A little business has been done at 6s lOd f.o.b. Fowl wheat is also in firm request, and some trading has been dono at 6s 10Jd f.o.b. There is a good demand from the North Island for all classes of wheat. The 6s a bushel f.0.b., which was the basis of a fair amount of business in next year's crop, is not being so freely offered. A little selling has taken placo at 5s lid, or approximately 5s Bd' on trucks, but the breaking of the even money does not appeal to growers. The crops generally are looking exceptionally well after the good rains, though growtli is becoming rather rank, particularly on the heavy land, and a dry spell is urgently wanted to harden the straw and develop the head. Fungoid troubles are feared unless the present change for the better in the weather continues. The light land crops aro not faced to much extent with such troubles, and evidences so far are for an exceptional season on this class of country. The fierce thunderstorm last Saturday afternoon did a considerable amount of damage over a narrow strip of country. One grower in the Weedons district had his wheat, aggregating over 170 acres, badly knocked about by the visitation. The area of the storm, fortunately, was circumscribed. Oats. The oat market is lifeless, but some business has taken place in next year's crop. For April-June delivery, AV aro quoted at 3s 6d f.0.b., s.i., and B's down to 3s Id, but the little activity shown a few weeks ago has subsided as far as Gartons arc concerned. Howover, in anticipation of business with Australia, when the new crop comes in merchants are offering 4s Od a bushol for machine-dressed clipped Algerians. A fair amount of early crop is well in ear; and the rough weather bursts have laid some of it. Appearances point to the yield being a good, one, but there is still a long way to go before this indication can mergo into a definite forecast. One good feature about tho past season's business is that the export to Australia and England cleared stocks that had accumulated in the south from the two preceding seasons, and tho new crop will come in with boards barer than for a long time. Chaff is quoted at £5 5s a ton, f.0.b., s.i., for next year, but with no business. Peas, Seeds, etc. Partridgo peas have eased slightly, and aro quoted at 7s Id to 7s 2d f.0.b., s.i. The export of seeds has also cleared decks in practically every line, Italian ryegrass being about the only exception. The new season will commenco with the advantago of no carry-over stocks to depress values. There is little current business. Potatoes Finished. After a season that has been varied from grave to gay and lively to severe, the potato is about done. The last vessel to Auckland took only 800 sacks, and not many are going by the next boat. New potatoes are coming in this week fairly froely, and merchants aro not prepared to quote for old crop unless for definite orders. What few are left are being mostly disposed of in the auction mart in retail quantities. Any business in next season's tubors is on the basis of £4 15s a ton f.0.b., s.i., or £3 10s on trucks. Quotations, The following are quotations for produce, to be paid to fanners, sacks extra, except wherexotherwise stated: — Wheat—6s 7d per bushel for Tuscan.

POULTRY AND EGGS. Poultry is coming forward a little more freely on account of more room being made for growing stock, but supplies are not equal to v the demand. Prices remain high for good quality birds. As Christmas is approaching, distributors advise trade suppliers in the latters' own interests, to send to the market now. The following prices were realised per pair: Table chickens, light 7s to 9s. heavy 10s to 13s; hens, light 6s to Bs, heavy 0g to lis; geese, 7s to 8s; goslings, 10s to 12s; ducks, 7s to 9s 6d; ducklings, 9s, to 12s J turkeys, hens 18s to 225, gobblers 30s to 425.

'AUCKLAND WOOL SALE. FINE WOOLS SELL FREELY. [THE PRESS Special Service] AUCKLAND, November 25. Tho spirited competition and buoyant tone which characterised the opening of the first Auckland wool sale of • the season on Thursday evening was again in evidence to-day, when the Bale was concluded. When the sale was resumed at 9 a.m. there was again a full bench of buyers, bidding commencing briskly and continuing so until the conclusion. It is difficult to say where most of tho wool sold will find its •way, because many ot the buyeis represent so many different houses, hut it was the consensus of opinion that the bulk of the wool offered will go to Bradford houses. As on tho opening night less than one per cent, of the lote was passed in. Tho highest price of tho sale was realised by Waihekc wool, which always excites keen competition and brings top prices. Five bales of halfbred wethers realised 2Gid, while four bales of halfbred ewes with the samo brand realised a similar price. A feature of tho sale was the .: enthusiasm that prevailed among buyers from start to finish. Not at any timo did they show any signs of tiredness. When 'the sale was adjourned on Thursday evening there remained approximately 13,000 bales to dispose of to-day. 'This wan achieved in the re- . cord timo of four hours. All records wero passed in the first hour, when 640 lots were disposed of, an average of nino lots a minute. The hopes of growers have thus been satisfied, and tho great event for them now is prompt date, which falls on December 9th. Approximately 23,000 bales were eold and. assessing the averago realisa- . tion' at £25 per bale, which is considered bv many to be conservative, the - Bum of nearly £600,000 will be distributed Tho official report of the Auckland [Woolbrokers' Association stated that the wool wa3 in excellent condition, the opinion being expressed by buyers that it was the best offering yet seen in Auckland, although there was-still room for an improvement in classification. Prices for the finer grades showed a slight advance on those obtained at southern .sales, while medium to coarse grades were on a par with southern prices. As compared with the sale held in Auckland last March, prices for finer wool were up quite 3d per lb, and medium and lower grades advanced ljd to 2d per lb. The range of prices was as follows :

CHRISTCHURCH SALE. . WEDNESDAY'S OFFERING. ( Tho first Christchurch sale of the pre-: Sent season will 'be held next Wednes-, day, in the Caledonian Hall, commenc-; ing at 9 a.m. The good prices being realised in the north, particularly for finer grades, aro causing wool to come forward more freely than expect- .. «d, . and instead of the 9000 to ; 10,000 bales anticipated a few weeks ago the catalogue probably will exceed ' 13,000 bales. The broken weather has seriously retarded shearing -operations^,but for which the: catalogue would have been much bigfer. However, the various catalogues ave been kept open as late as possible in order to meet the desire of vendors to quit, and also to clear stocks before : the regulation in regard to the limitation of catalogues comes into force with jtho second sale.
