There wns% a record attendance," including representatives from France • and ■ Belgium. Confidence quickly 'manifested itself, and competition for all'.good wools was lively from Hie outset, •. Faulty descriptions were not so much' in favour, owing tu the relatively hieher conversion cost compared with the better sorts; still, even with less competition, practically everything has passed the hammer to date. Tho result so far is that compared with tho fixed issue prices in forcti before the revision, low crossbreds are back to par, and all .dualities above the average are fully per cent, higher. The different descriptions compared with that, level may be ouoted as follows Good merinos, 5 per cenK dearer ; average, 2i per cent, dearer ; faulty, par! 46's and 58's, .5 per. cent, dearer; super 46's to 50's, 2J per cent, dearer; .ordinary IG's, below par.

CANTERBURY PRODUCE MARKET

[ MISUNDERSTANDING REMOVED. A | By TeleEraoh—Press Association. p r j Christchurchj April 11. i i ' It is evident that there is some mis- BI( i understanding in regard to the amended I i terms for the 'purchase of wheat in the -"j. i regulation that was recently gazetted jj n j providing for . the halfpenny per bushel per month rise to' begin in May. It was j stated that the' Government brokers will * ! buy good milling wheat on account of the j Government at the prices , stated. This yji ! has been interpreted by some of the i ! brokers as well as farmors to mean that Es i ' the Government are prepared to purchase 1 j ; , and pay for wheat irrespective of the ** I quantities that millers aa'e taking from j a r the brokers. The Assistant Wheat Con- gj, !■. troller states tliero is a mistake, and that j he understands the: Government are only to f prepared, to • purchaso the surplus there J i may be at the end of the season. w ; '' Farmers who have Tuscan or other i varieties of. wheat that millers do not g] lequire are finding difficulty in disposing he of it or in obtaining storage. Much of the storage space is being taken up with W j oats which the growers have decided to '° i told in view "of the presont low state of tc the market and the probable • demand v theTe irill be for winter f?ed. i . Local millers are. still purchasing suit- ' able lines of; wheat,' but are now almost . filled up ' ■ • ri i " Very little is doing in oats, and there . | \ is a 'check in forward selling, seeing that growers are not accenting tho priccs at ai present offered.-' It fs roported that a la large'line of Cartons changed hands at. P. Bs. Id. at a. country'station, but the grain p had to be got rid of. The catsheaf chaff q ; market is also dull. Since tho rain this week thero lias been ti ft little'more'inquiry for grass seed for immediate sowing, but so far as pur- ! / chases from growers are concerned thore 11 '» is no. business doing.'
