THE NEW ZEALAND FARMERS' GO-OPERATIVE .DISTRIBUTE G COMPANY, LTD. WEEKLY REPORT. Potatoes continue in large supply, but without any appreciable lull in values; an advance is probable shortly We recommend farmers to acquaint us with their requirmeiits in seed potatoes {or the coming season, as we can supply more advantageously now than later 011. Onions have taken a rapid advance in values, and it is now expected ♦that a steady increase will be maintained throughout the year. Wheat is dull ol sale. Maize is scarce, and increase values, probable. (Jliaff is very firm, well held. A recent rise in coastal steamer freights will increase local chaff values, as the South Island is now he principal supplying district. Linseed oil cake is now being recognised as the bust feeding values of all stock foods, and a good demand exists. Porkers are in excellent demand. We could deal with largo supplies, and at present rates, consignments can be invited with every confidence. Honey and "walnuts are wanted. Eggs remain steady. Owing to the expected shortage in rape, we are now receiving, and booking orders for Hurst's English grown seed. Our clients are warned against buying French or Japanese lines, owing to the danger of getting an oil rape rather than a forage variety. Fruit.—The demand for cooking apples has improved since last report and well packed lines meet keen competition. Choice lines of dessert are bought up rapidly. The demand for quinces is exceptionally good, and we could do with larger consignments, rooking pears are selling freely, while dessert are ruling about the same values as last week. The demand for tomatoes is better, and fair prices are being realised for well-packed lines. Higher values are ruling fo.' sou id varieties Vo-i'stables. —The supply -ji ...i'iilowers at the moment is Jie.\\, aim ■) - ice.s ''i 011 the low -,id ii.foriv liiu-o ' ciin difficult to (j.ir.
