CANTERBURY CROPS
By Tolegrath—Press Association. Christchurch, March 12.
There has beon a steady sale for wheat, the bettor milling 'samples being in keen demand. Most of the badly discoloured and sprouted wheat has been bought at tlio maximum price for fowl wheat of ss. Bd." fio.b. Oats aro still scarce, as the, wheat crop is being put through tlio mills first. There is keen inquiry at late rates. Oatshcaf chaff is also in demand at £4 ss. to £4 10s. at country stations for the better qualities. The potato crop right through to Otago and .Southland, appears to have been affected by the blight, but excepting in odd instances the tops have not been blackened off and are still green. It is therefore expected that tubers will turn out fairly soiuid, but this cannot be ascertained for certain until the digging of the main crop is under way. Prices offered locally are £3 ss. to £3 10s. at country stations, with little business doing at presout, though there is a demand for forward delivery.
