CHRISTCHURCH MARKETS
(By Telegraph—Press Association!)
CHRISTCHURCH, January 26,
The week hae been a very quiet one in the grain and produce markets, and. practically the only business passing has. been the exchange of small lots of seeds, between merchants at current prices. Seeds have not started yet to come in from farmers, and in the absence of any considerable demand from the North Island, recent price quotations have not altered.
Owing to the emallness of the Blenheim crop,there has been slightly more inquiry for.cowgrass. It is reported that the dry weather experienced in Marlborough right up to Christmas has had the effect of cutting, down the crops there considerably,:
Wheat wae starting to come in till the rough weather of the last week interfered with the harvesting. A lot is waiting for movement off the farm and a couple of weeks' of dry weather would ccc very heavy deliveries. . ■The potato market has been very quiet, but those in the trade are looking to a good season. Prices in the north indicate that when the Canterbury crop is called on the values will be better than they have been for some years. It is expected that the demand from the North Island will be making itself felt well before the end of March.
Chaff is a shade firmer at £3 J7s 6d f.o.b.a.i.
