NEW ZEALAND FARMERS' CO--1 OPERATIVE DISTRIBUTING CO., LTD. WEEKLY 11BPORT. (Special to The Horowhenua Chronicle.) I WELLINGTON, May 15. Potatoes are still in fairly good 1 demand, although signs of a woaken- ' ing in the market are not wanting. Large quantities are coming forward and the quality continues good. Onions are firmer, with brisker sales, globes being eagerly sought after. Porkers are still in good demand, with indications that the supply will soon drop off, large quantities having 1 come to hand this week. Slips and suckers are scarcer, but the demand 1 and price is weaker, owing to huy- | ers being stocked up. In view of the high price of porkers, and a pro- ' 'bable increase, we strongly recom- ! mend farmers to hold their pigs until they are porkers, and wo will 1 be pleased to assist our clients to do . this by quoting pig feed at a low 1 rate, nnd if necessary on extended j terms of credit. Fresh eggs are a I shade weaker, while preserved •are I soiling at the same rate as last week, with slow sales. Wheat is still firm nnd shows no weakening tendency, the same applying to oats. FR.TTIT: Cooking apples and pears nre in good demand, and are. selling briskly. Quinces are nearly finished, ami there is a good enquiry for them. VEGETABLES: Fairly largo quantities reached the market this wook, and all vegetables are in good demand, swedes being the only exception. Cabbage and cauliflowers arc lower. Parsnips and carrots aro 'n fair demand at samo rates a« last week. Potatoes.—Prime £6 per tou. Onions. £8 per ton French beans—2Jd per lb f Cabbage—Choice 3s to 4s per sackCarrots—Choice 3s 6d to 5s per & sack.
