CANTERBURY MARKETS

By ToleEranh.—Press Asioclntlon. Chrlstchurch, August 8. There is very little, if any, improve- ' meat showing in the market, oxcept for 'eeeds that aie required for spring sowing. Thero is nothing fresh to report in wheat, and the fact that just over six ' million bushels haw already been • reported 88 thrashed indicates that with .. Australian importations there will be : ample for the year's requirements. TJn•less, however, there is a heavy sowing of ; spring wheat next season's crop will be o very short one, as this very dry autumn and early winter prevented very much early sowing being done. Algerian oats for spring sowing are in good demand, and are now worth up to 4s. Gd. fler bushel at country stations, and the same lore!) of prices is readied by Dunp. There is no improvement in Gartons, which Are nominally equal to 3s. 9d. to. 4s. at country stations. Thero is, however, practically no business doing with groivi era. . Oatsheaf chaff still remains at £0 . to JUo ss. per ton at country stations, ; with a limited local demand. Thero are ; no ohansres in cocksfoot or ryegrass, hut cloven? have still further firmed, red being quoted at Is. sd. to Is. 7d. per lb., and_ white at Is. id. to Is. sd. at country 'stations. The demand for ryegrass and other seeds is expected to improve next . week, when the large and ■-.formers who will bo in the city villi ■ 'place their spring orders. The potato market has shown some flnotuations lately, but toMky. tho tone is said to bo •"reasier. again. Tlie price at country F.ba- : tiara is variously quoted at £1 lbs*, to '£8 per ton, tho latter figure being offered to secure prompt delivery, when required. The wet weather, during the week has been against the handling of potatoes on the farm. Shippers are meeting with a difficulty In securing space for peas on Home boats.but the market remains firm : and 7s. Gd. is now offered to growers for partridges. The. bulk of tho crop is now, however, in merchants' hands.
