NEW ZEALAND FARMERS' VOOPERATIVE DISTRIBUTING UO., LTD. WEEKLY REPORT. (Special to til' Horowh«nua Chr ' iole). Wellington, April 10. The market for potatoes has eased and stocks are alow with fair stocks held. Indications are that there is an average crop in the South, which will be available from now on. Onions are coining in freely, and no further drop in values is expected. A further hardening of the pork market has taken place this week, and to-day's prices show an advance of from id to id against the increases of last week. We expect further advances onward, as the supply of pijxs throughout the country is decidedly short. Fresh orks have advanced, and a further rise is probable, the market being under supplied. Preserved lines are also wanted. There has been a decided advance in the values of oats during the week, and large sales have been .made to the North Island, in anticipation of a further rise. Wheat is (inn and fowl wheat will be this year. a,s the havest of mostdistricts is well up to the mill* ing standard. Chaff is now selling freely, and the market shows little change.
