As anticipated in our previous report, I! 10 potato market is now weakening, and there is .a prospect of a sharp la 11 in values. Australian supplies are n\v lvnehing here, and will assist to bring this about. We advise our clients requiring seed to hold off for a few weeks, pending developments. Onions are unchanged. Of vegetables, cabbage, turnips, lettuce and spinach are all in excellent demand, while marrows have improved, and pumpkins and carrots show easier values. We recommend shipments of pie melons. Ifothoti.se tomatoes are still in exceptionally keen demand. Dessert apples advanced considerably, as also have all varieties of cookers, except Epps' seedling, which show a slight advance only. Pears are i ngreat demand, as also grapes. Poultry is now showing an advance, and tliet market displays a much better tone. Eggs have weakened slightly, Imt are still in good demand. Chaff has weakened in sympathy with the decline in oafs, and very little business is hexing done. Potatoes, Prime l T p-to-dates, £7 to C 7 10s per ton. Potatoes, seed, specially selected.
