POTATO MARKET FIRMER
POSITION IN CANTERBURY Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Tuesday. Potatoes have met with an improved market since the week-end. Consequent on the wet weather deliveries are coming forward slowly, and this week’s Auckland boat is likely to carry a reduced cargo. The Wingatui is scheduled to sail about Saturday, and it is understood that she will take less than 3,000 sacks. As 10 days have elapsed since the preceding boat, the Auckland market; has become fairly low. Yesterday a sale of rejected potatoes was reported to have been made ex wharf at £6 10s a ton, which indicates an advance of up to 12s 6d a ton on the preceding week. Farmers who can deliver promptly can secure £4 a ton on trucks. Onions have hardened in value. Purchases from farmers have been made today at £9 a ton on trucks.
No other section of produce has altered siru e the week-end report except that No.
t grade milling wheat is firm and is > I noted at 5s B£d a bushel at average country stations.
