GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKETS. PRACTICALLY NO MOVEMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, December 2. The Canterbury grain, seed and produce markets are still practically without movement. The estimated potato acreage for 1938-39 does not show such a heavy decrease as was anticipated in many quarters, and the general opinion now is that the actual acreage will be very little, if anything, short of last season’s. The reason probably is the position growers found themselves in when planting time came round. Many of them had fairly considerable stocks of seed which they had been unable to sell and rather than dump them they had put them in. It is assumed that the estimate will be below the actual acreage because it is probable that some growers did not put in their returns. The season has only to continue as it has begun for the yield to be a really excellent one.
