THJS NEW ZEALAND FARMERS' 00-OPERATIVE DISTRIBUTING COMPANY, LTD. WEEKLX~"iiPORT. The- potato market allows sings «.'i weakness consequent on the Government prohibiting export. It is however, difficult to 'forecast values spread over the next few months, as crops in tlie couth are turning out lighter than was expected. A good demand is setting in for seed potatoes, of winch we have some excellent lines to oifer. Onions continue low in price, but a sharp advance may be looked lor within the course of the next few weeks, as the local supply has run out. There is very little moving in either wheat, oats, or barley. We can offer an excellent line of Java maize at a price under tha marked rate lately ruling" for this grain. We continue to make ready sales of our shipment of English rape, due to arrive next month. Siraw is in short supply, .while straw chaff, both oaten and wheaten, is in fair demand. Oaten sheaf chaff is firm. The demand for pork pigs is good, and a fair supply is still coming into the market. Both fresh and preserved eggs are slow of sale. Honey is in good demand. There is a fairly heavy supply oi savoy cabbage, and low prices are being realised. The market is well supplied with cauliflowers, and prices are easier since last report. Ripe marrows and dronbark pumpkins are in short"supply, and lines offering meet keen competition at satisfactory rates. Lettuces are lower since last report. We could handle larger consignments of choice table carrots, parsnips, and white turnips. Swedes meet fair sale inly. Spring onions and leeks are selling freely. Choice celery is meeting ready sale at high rates. There is a fair supply of both ohoice cooking and dessert apples and the market is weaker since iast report. Inferior lines meet very slow sale at low rates. A good demand exists for choice winter cole dessert pears, and the market couTd absorb larger consignment.
