GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Canterbury Markets Dominion Special Service. Christchurch, January 22. Fowl wheat continues linn at 4/- a bushel f.0.b., s.e. There are no offerings of new season’s fowl, teed so far. samples being offered millers and merchants being mostly of milling grade. The fixing of the interim payments for tlie season at the prices notified on Saturday has given general satisfaction to growers and will compensate to a small extent fee the lessened yield. Though there has been inquiry It'om Auckland for potatoes, there is little business. Nominal quotations arc from £4 5/. to £4/7/6 f.o.b. s.i„ for May-June. So far very few oats have been offered merchants. Apparently little has be-n threshed, growers preferring to await some movement in the market before undertaking the cost of threshing, I any ease the way the season is Raping for winter feed a good deal of the oat crop may be needed in the farms as chaff. Until there is a clearer indication in this respect it is probable that most of the oats will remain in stack. Ryegrass seed is coming forward treeiy, and apparently some good yields are being secured. Cocksfoot is now commencing to appear on the market.
