CANTERBURY MARKETS. POTATO PRICES EASIER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH. August 25.

Quotations in the city yesterday varied up to £l6 a ton on trucks, but the maximum price mentioned by most merchants was £l5. It is reported locally that the first shipment to be brought into New Zealand this season is landing at Auckland on September 1, and will consist of oi) tons, of which 20 tons have been purchased by a Christchurch merchant. A further 1000 tens have been booked to land at Auckland on September 19, with other shipments of 120 tons landing on September 29, and 200 tons on October 16. Business in chaff is still very small, with quotations at £4 a ton on trucks.
