CANTERBURY MARKET
By Tolegrarh—Press Association.' Chrlstchurch, May 23. Tho Canterbury grain market generally has been quiet. Very littlo wheat has come to hand, and offerings of onto nre light, but this market has a better tone, although there is hardly any quotable change. Most of tho pea crop has now changed hands. The chaff tradft is still dull on account of the shortage of storago and railway tmclts. The potato market remains stagnant, and as local requirements are full, it is not oxpectcd there will bo any apprcciflMe chango until storage facilities improve and the embargo to Australia is removed. liuling rates are from t £3 15s. to £4. _ Very little trado has beeii done with linseed, and owing to the uncertainty of the Australian position no one is inclined to 'buy. The nominal price is ,£3l to X 32 per ton. Onions continue to bo purchasable at country stations at XG per ton, but little business has been effected. Tho barley crop is now pretty well cleaned up on market and quotations remain stationary at Bs. to 95., according to quality.
