SOUTHERN MARKETS

By Telegraph—Press, Association Christchurch, ;Juno, C. The grain and produce markets are- on the whole very quiet, although since the recent break in the weather feed lines are firmer. Thero was no great fall of 'rain, and (lie country right .through to Dunedin is still vory dry l'or the timo of the year. Thero is little change in oats, but the tendency is towards firmer prices at the present time. A Grade Gartons are now quoted at.4s; 2d. and 4s. 3d. at country stations j. that is for prime, bright quality; B Grade,3s. lid., -is. Id.; seed Algerians, to'. 45.; Duns;-4s;, 4s. 2d.;', and Danish. 3s. Gd. to 3s. 9d. • .Supplies of oats aro still difficult to obtain, as growers'aro . holding firmly, and are expected to <lo so''while the winter is still in front of them. Oatsheaf chaff is 'further advanced,' and buyers are now offering £7 at country stations, but; as with oats, growers are'reluctant sellers. .... , • , The potato market is : easier, ;as. large quantities are going forward to Auckland by the■'Wainiarino, and! there will also be a shipment later by the Koromiko. It is reported that'the northern market is filled up for the time being, and . that forward! buyers in 'Auckland ,are trying to resell purchases at about .£7_ f.o.b. Lyttelton.' At the samo' time it is . also said that no resales have been confirmed. Prospects of trade with Sydney appear .to; have been dissipated' for the. tinie being. , and accumulated stocks in Victoria and Tasmania will probably be sufficient to meet Sydney requirements for soriie time, when shipping is available. The local market ,has v now declined .£6 to >£6 ss„ country markets. Onions are also easier, and £1 is now' the ruling price at country stations. It is'- stated that the crop is not keeping this season.

There is good demand for clover.seed without any ohange in price from' last •report. > There is s^n;-improvement in cocksfoot, and growers are now being offered Bd.fl and 9d. per lb., an advance of ]Jd. lb. on late rates.

■ Linseed is firm at .£lB ss. to <£18 10s. per ton, at country stations.
