NEW ZEALAND EAitMEliS' CO-UPEItATIYE DTSTItIB UT--ING CO., LTD. WEEKLY itEl'UliT. Wellington, October llj. The demand for old table potatoes is keeping' up well, notwithstanding now linos from North have been soiling during the week at a very low Jig ure fur this time of the year. We are inclined to expect a sharp drop in value of old potatoes and recommend early marketing. The dcfiraml for ti'wd lines j.s now very poor. We expect the consignments of pork will increase rapidly in future, and can recommend regular and large shipments. Eggs are in short supply and I lie market is firm. Wheat is firm and likely to rise: A good demand has set in for seed maize for green feeding and supplies are difficult to obtain. FIIUTL We have during |] i 0 week lauded a large shipment of American Jonathan apples, and have still available about 150 eases for sale. VEGETABLES, Cabbage is low, but cauliflower meet good demand. Lettuce is in better sale. Swedes are dull of sale. Eresh samples of carrots, parsnips and turnips are in good demand. Shipments of Nelson green peas continue to arrive and fetch high values. We expect a large increase in the supply next week. Potatoes.- -Seed l r p-to-dates £'■> TOs per ton. Potatoes.- Prime, 454 to £4 10s per ton. Potatoes.—XuwUd to 2d per lb.
