TILE N.Z. FARMERS' CO-OP-ERATIVE DISTRIBUTXG CO., LTD. WEEKLY REPORT. Wellington, Sept. 20. In tJie present condition of the potato market choice lines are the only ones commanding' attention on the part ul' buyers. The planting' season has now so far advanced that seed lines are increasingly hard to move oil', even at bedrock rates. .New potatoes have been coming in in small quantities, and values realised arc influenced by the low price of the old crop, but we expect Hair prices when tne main IJutt supplies are available. Larger supplies of dead pig's are wanted. Egg's arc in good demand, and prices are not likely to weaken. Wheat is linn. Oats are slightly weaker. Barley is plentiful, with lower values than for some seasons past. Chail is selling freely. a good demand is setting in for rape seed, the new season's crop of which is due in about a week. Turkey gobblers sell well, but hens are dull of sale. Emit.- Very few New Zealand apples are now coming in. A large supply of rhubarb is coming in from the llutt, and realising fair rates. Vegetables.—Cabbage and cauliflower are somewhat lower. A special rise has taken place in swedes, and prompt arrivals should catch a high market. Nelson green peas are selling at high rates.
