CANTERBURY PRODUCE MARKET

By Telegraph-Press Association. Christohurch, August 30. There is no wheat offering locally, J'"*, /and only one line of oats, comprising | several thousand bushels of good Algerians, and Gartous is reported to 'have changed hands, the sellers' price jibeing ss. at country stations. The p"" joata market is very firm, especially for : imilling and seed lines. Algerians are ', ' j, worth up to 55., and Gartons ss. to ss. | j-'3d. The latter figures are also offered 1 'for seed Duns. Spnrrowbills, Canadians ! .and Danish are very scarce. Oatsheaf ;. i-ohaff keeps firm. Prime bright is ' wrorth up to £7 at country stations, tcai good but discoloured to £5 10s. I: -Inferior chaff has been sold as low j as 50s. Difficulty in obtaining shipping >■ is a general complaint among dealers i in potatoes. There is a keen domand : for other ports besides Aucklaud and ! ''Wellington,' and for those markets ! Abetter prices appear to have been given I (than for the northern centres. The ar--1 Ixival of Australian potatoes in tho 'north has made the regular suppliers ;' !io those markets less keen to do busii jness with growers at present, and offers i .lave in some cases been declined; The 1 > regulaT market price appears to bo £8 :. ss. to £8 10s. at country stations, but it is reported that odd sales have been made as high as £9 and £9 55.. Seed | potatoes for the second early crop are ; now being inquired for. There are no buyers for onions, in view of the collapse of the Auokland and Wellington I markets through the arrival of large | consignments from Melbourne. Cow- ', grass seed is a little firmer, and tho American market is reported to have '• hardened. There is very little doing in white clover. Cocksfoot is in good j demand, and machine-dressed seed has been selling at up to Is. 10d. per 101b. i to 171b. seed, and Is. 6d. to Is. 7d. for i 151b. to 161b. seed. There is good in- \ . quiry for linseed, but the crop is now practically all out of growers' bands. i From inquiries made there is probably i a larger area/ to be sown this season. It is now -worth £25 to £26 per ton at • country stations. EQUAL TO FULL OREAM MILK. . Tho weaned calf on "CEREMILK" thrives as well as on his mother's milk. 'And so he slionld-"CEREMILK" is rich in the fat and iproteid necessary to pro- ; ducn strong, well-conditioned, healthy beasts. Absolutely fresb-"CEBBMILK'' is superior to any similar food the world over. No bother, easily mixed, it leaves ; no sediment in the biioket because it is so finely ground. _ Try "CEREMILK." Tour experience will be that of Mr. J. I Kyne, Clandeboye, near Temnlra, who ! writos:—"Previous to using 'CEREMILK' | 1 lost 25 calves through scour. After ! using 'CEREMILK' I did not lose any more calves. They commenced to thrive straight away as is evidenced bv the i fact that I obtained from J!3 10s. to M por head for my calves." < Local distri- : butors: Fleming and Co., Ltd., Jervois ' .Quay, Wellington.—Advt. 1 Miss N.'
