CANTERBURY MARKETS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. The potato market still continues healthy, and large quantities are being shipped to Auckland. In addition to the quantities which had been sent north recently (6600 sacks by the Katoa and 7000 by the Wingatul) a further 4500 bags are on the Oplhi, which sailed yesterday, and it is expected another large quantity will be dispatched in a few days by the Korouniko. Potatoes are very firm to-day and are hard to buy from farmers. Most of the supplies for the north have been met out of stocks in store. Owing to the demand that has been made from Auckland it is likely that the needs of other ports will lead to the trade in potatoes keeping up for some weeks yet. The rain which commenced to fall to-day should have a beneficial effect on kusiness. So far as seed is concerned, the demand for oats has caused this line to finni, and several parcels have lately been sent to Australia, from which source inquiries are still coming td hand. Gartons are from Id to 2d firmer than they were last week. Stocks of oats in ’store are just about cleaned out. so any orders coming in for this line are all to the benefit of the farmer. Chaff is still llfolese. Recently the demand for fowl wheat has improved, and it is now being quoted at 4s 3d f.o.b. WHEAT CARGO MARKET. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright.
