POTATOES HARDEN IN THE SOUTH
OTHER MARKETS LIFELESS Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Friday. Except for occasional periods the “shutters have been up” practically the whole of the week in the grain and produce circle, and as a result there has been little opportunity, for much change in values. The week lias been one of holiday. Potatoes, however, have taken a turn for the better. The official admission that the earlier estimate is far too optimistic, conforms to local opinion, and the result has been a hardening - in values to the extent of 5s a ton. August delivers is now quoted at 5s f.0.b., s.i., and August-Septem-ber at £ 5 ss. A few inquiries are also coming from the North. However, from now on the market is likely to resolve itself into one of supply and demand. The season is too far advanced for much speculation. Oats are easier than they were at last week-end. A grade Gartons have been sold at as low as 3s lid, f.0.b., s.i., with B’s just failing to touch the even money. All other classes of produce are devoid of market life.
