GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Markets Quiet in the South
(By Tele«rr*i
CHRISTCHURCH, Last i.ight. . Apart from a small amonnt of business in potatoes, the grain and produce markets remain in the same extremely quiet state that they have displayed for some weeks. Horse feed is (dttU and trading in small seeds is extremely restricted, probably because farmers are doing as little agricultural work as possible with the present high wages. Fowl wheat has a solid demand at good prices, but there is very little left in Earmers ' hands. Potatoes are stronger than they were it the beginning of the week, and up ' :o £7 a ton is being paid on Erucks. Supplies in the country appear now to •se in small compass, and as there are (ome small North Island orders in the aiarket, .farmers having potatoes are tble to sell them. The demand is not vreat and is distinctly of a hand-to-mouth variety. New potatoes in the qorth have come back very substantially in price this^ week, and it appears that the demand for southera will not last much longer.
