GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKET QUIET (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June 3. The only bright feature in the grain and produce markets is activity in seed wheat and onions. Seed wheat has been going out this week as fast as at any time this season. Farmers have responded well to the appeal to grow wheat and it now seems certain that the acreage sown will be substantial. The Government’s decision not to allow the importation of onions before October 5 has had an immediate effect on the local market, which has been firm. The price is £9 10s on trucks, but the crop this season has been smaller than usual and supplies *hre not sufficient to meet the demand. Potatoes remain as dull as they have been in the last few weeks. The nominal price is still £3 on trucks, but little business has been done even at this figure. A few orders are being received for best quality chaff, which remains firm at £4 10s on trucks. The seed trade is showing its usual season quietness, there being practically not business in any line.
