Potatoes are firmer in price, and an early rise in both tables and soeds is probable. Canteriburygrmvn seed up-to-dates are coming to hand in excellent order, and; we are\.doing a large trade in tibern just 1 now. The market is being largely supplied with Melbourne onions, but local grown Brown Spanish are now coming in. Cabbage and cauliflow- - cr are slightly easier, but the do maml continues very satisfactory, Table carrots arc slow of sale. Let- - luce is in good enquiry at ihigh values. Apples continue to sell well, and wo could do with much lagrer ) .supplies. As antciipnted last week, eggs 'have further declined, and) the supply is very largo. Fungus would bring big bprices if it arrived shortly. Maize has risen in price, but other grains show no alteration. Potatoes, Prime Up-to-dates, £7 10s to £8 per to^.
