_ HIE N.Z. EARMEIiS' CO-OP-EHATIVE DISTimUJTNG CO., LTD. j i WEEKLI IiEPORT. ' ! Wellington, jN t uv. 14. | The i\'ew Zealand jjarniers' Co- [ opeiative .Distributing Company | Ltd., reports as follows on the lo- | cal markets: - r Trade during the week, has, ol ! course, been, disorganised on ac- | 1 count o.t' the strike, even to the Ij extent ul an organised boycott ol | improved fruits. This, howj ever, did not last many hours, and all trace of any suck movement has disappeared. Trade is rapidly resuming its normal condition I and promises to be exceedingly | brisk from now on. Old pota--1 tqes are now in poor demand, in | view of the normal price at which S new lines are selling, the supply I of the latter being practically s equal to the demand. Eggs are § in full supply, prices being un- | influenced by the present condi--1 tion of transport facilities. Pork I is in excellent demand with short I supply. Eair stocks of honey are still held, and there has been no increase in values. Trade with j Nelson is now resuming, and large shipments of peas and fruit may be expected daily. We have still a limited stock of flour available, which we are placing at-the disposal of our regular customers in limited quantities. We hope to obtain delivery of our new season's rape seed within a few days, and j advance orders will be executed with all expedition. American apples are selling freely, and it is anticipated that there will be a shortage before next shipment arj rives. .Strawberries are arriving I in large quantities from Auck- i j land, and are ill excellent demand, j 'Rhubarb is also in good demand. ! | Cauliflowers are scarce and realis- > I ing excellent prices.
