NEW ZEALAND FABMERS' COOPERATIVE DISTRIBUTING 00. WEEKLY REPOBT. (Special to the "Horowhenua Chronicle. ,, ) . WELLINGTON, May 17. As anticipated by us last week, the potato warket has fallen, and there appears to bo every likelihood of a. further fall in values very shortly. A very largo quantity of potatoes has reached this market during the week, thus affecting the values fairly considerably. . Onions are unchanged, and meet good sales at prices mentioned. Fresh eggs are still very scarce, and consignment* are strongly recommended, white preserved lines are still fairly dull of sale and in large supply. Porkers are in very good demand, and meet splendid prices. We have a good market for them, and can dispose of any quantity. Pollard ic still almost unprocurable, very small quantities having reached us during the week. Sucrosine is also very •caroo Lut we anticipate executing orders a little more promptly now, as the manufacturers have received further supplies of raw material. Wheat remains firm, and the same applies to oats. Chaff is fairly scarce, and Ims a slight upward tendency. I'llLHT.—Sau:o as last week.
