thjs new zealand farmers' co-operative distributing company, ltd. weeklT"report. Wellington June 17. A further advance has taken place in the values of potatoes. As there is prospects of trade with Austrain later ,and the fciouth Island crops ars light,,higher prices may be looked lor. Onions are still slow of sale. There is a slightly easier tone in the cab market. Wheat is unchanged. The recent shipment of maize from Javi has eased the market, wlucli was previously bare. All meals are in. good demand, also linseed oil cake.

' Indications are that basic slag will be in medium supply fro.n Juiy onwards.
