PRODUCE MARKETS.
CHRISTCHURCH, June 5. The potato position is very weak indeed and the quotation has slipped back a further 5s a ton Dakotas are worth 27s 6d to 30s a ton, on trucks, to growers, and whites are quoted at 35s a ton, on trucks. There is little business passing and farmers are disinclined to accept a lower basis of values. The fowl wheat market is unaltered. Prompt delivery is quoted at 5s 2d, f.o.b. Lyttelton. There is no quotation for spread delivery. Milling wheat is still being absorbed. One sale has been recorded at 5s 6d, on trucks, for Tuscan at a Mid-Canterbury
station. The prices generally range from 5s 4d to 5s sd, on trucks, to farmers. Peas are firmer at 4s 3d on trucks.
