CANTERBURY PRODUCE MARKET
:By Ttlocraoh—Press inflation.* Christchurch, Mai 21 . The 'movement in oats was only temporary and prices are now stable at the rates quoted last week. Tho"shortago of railway trucks and storage, together with insufficient shipping facilities, are, militating against a lively markefße-inß'in-stituted. Potatoes are in Rood supply. The yields are prolific and samples Rood, but the local demand is not keen. Northern buyers are now drawing qn their contract supplies and there is not much inquiry from outside. Buyers are offering £3 10s. to .£3 15s. per ton, but sellers arc not disposed to accept theso prices and much pitting is being done. It has been reported that there is a prospect of the embargo on export to Australia being lifted in the near future, and growers anticipate better prices when this happens. Barley remains unaltered in price. A few odd lines remain in the country, but generally speaking the crop has been marketed. Chaff is in the same position as oats, and oales are slow. j
