NEW ZEALAND FARMERS' COOPERATIVE DISTRIBUTING CO., LTD. WEEKLY REPORT. WELLINGTON, May 22. Tho potato market Las weakened considerably, as w« anticipated in previous forecasts, and a rise can only be looked for towards the end of the season unless an export trade is possible, tho chances of which are, however, not bright.
