NEW ZEALAND FAllMlSltS' COOPERATIVE DISTRIBUTING UU., LTD. WEEKLY IUSP OUT. (.Special to the Horowhenua Chionicle). WELLINGTON, Dec. 1 ( J. The market is very irregular, doubtless on accouut of the approaching holidays. Potatoes fell during the week, but the market today is bare and an advance is very probable. Onions are in steady demand, with regular weekly supplies arriving. Eggs alive advanced and a further rise is likely. Porkers are in fair demand at the reduced rates now ruling. Baconers are slow of sale, suckers aro particularly enquired for, and chopeprs a,re in fair demand. Turkeys are especially wanted, being very scarce. iOther poultry is realising fair prices, where quality is good, but inferior lines are lower than usual. Strawberries are lower mainly owing to the condition on arrival during the warm weather. Tomatoes aro in splendid demand. Apricots, plums and peaches are now coming forward, and excellent values obtained. During the week we landed 1200 cases of Californian dessert apples, practically all of which havo now been cleared at satisfactory prices. Vegetables are about the samo as last week, but green peas of inferior quality have been arriving and Belling at nominal prices. New Potatoes.—(is to 8s per cut.
