s N.Z. FARMERS' CO-OPERATIVP DISTRIBUTING CO., hi.J. L WEEKLY REPORT. (Special to " The Horowhenua a Chronicle.") For the convenience of the farming community, "The Chronicle" n is reprinting from day to day, daring the autumn season, the quotations of prices current as isaitKl by I, the Farmers' Distributing Company :— i. WELLINGTON, June If.. As anticipated in our previous report, the potato market is now weakening, and there is a prospect of a sharp fall in values. Australian supplies are nw reaching 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 un- - changed. Of vegetables, caibbage, turnips, lettuce and spinach are all in .excellent domand, while niii.rrows - have improved, and pumpkins and carrots show easier values. We recommend .shipments .of pie melons. 3 HoLliou.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 aar advance, and tliet market displays a much better tone. Eggs have weakened slightly, but are still in good demand. Obaff has weakened in sympathy with the decline in oafs. and very little business is being done. [ Potatoes, Prime Up-to-dates, £7 to £7 10s per ton. Potatoes, seed, specially selected. !
