GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKETS. POTATO PRICES STEADIER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, August 11. The Government’s announcement that licences may be obtained to import potatoes has had the effect of steadying potato prices in the local market. Quotations to farmers today were unchanged from those of a week ago at £l6 10s to £l7 a ton, according to station and delivery. Another large shipment left for the north this week by the Waimarino, which took 5200 sacks from Lyttelton as well as a quantity from Timaru. Prices in other grain and produce markets are unchanged. Deliveries of seed wheat for spring sowing have not yet reached any volume, but a week or two of warmer weather would quickly accelerate this trade.
