POTATO MARKET FIRMER
POSITION IN THE SOUTH Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. There is very little life in the grain, seed and produce markets. The potato position has caused a little interest. Large quantities coming forward from growers have been rejected at the ship's side. This has caused a certain shortage for prompt deliveries and the price has advanced from £4 to £4 10s, f.0.b., s.i., with very few merchants inclined to sell. There is no actual shortage of potatoes, but the trouble is caused by deliveries at this period of the year being so uncertain in quality. Offerings are few and quality generally is indifferent. The difficulty is to get lots passed. Up to £3 a ton can be obtained at country stations. _ Very small quantities of new potatoes are coming on the market from the North, through the late season which is being experienced. Oats and peas show no change, and seeds are also lifeless, with prices the same as last week.
