THJfc NEW ZEALAND FARMERS CO-OPERATIVE .DISTRIBUTING - COMPANY, LTD. WEEKLyTREPORT. Wellington, August W- , Tin* potato market remains hrin, and the demand is able to absorb all lines arriving. It is difficult to forecast the future value of table potatoes, but we do not anticipate any pronounced drop, at any rate for the next month or so. Seed potatoes are selling Ireely A few first-class local onions arriving are in special demand j supplies irom Amerioa are expected shortly. There is a distinct weakening in the grain markofc ,except in oats, .which are stationary. Wheat is lower, and barley very much lower than the valuer which have been ruling ror some time past. Pollard and bran have dropped 20s per ton. Chaff is considerably easier and hay is very hard to sell. Doubtless the mild winter and signs ol early spring have been potent factors in easing the market. However, notwithstanding any severe weather that might be experienced, we do not anticipate the exceptionally high values to be ruling again this year.
