GRAIN AND PRODUCE
«■ CANTERBURY MARKETS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, February 10. There is little, market activity in any line except for wheat, in the Canterbury grain, seed and produce markets. Wheat continues to come forward freely. A few dun oats, for which merchants’ quotations are unchanged at 4s 3d to 4s 9d, have been offered, but not many samples of Gartons are reported. Nearly all cocksfoot so far submitted has been poor, and it looks as though growers may have difficulty in disposing of lightweight seed this season. Merchants are still offering up to 5s 6d and higher for best samples of Italian ryegrass and from 5s to 5s 6d for perennial, but many growers seem content to withhold supplies in the meantime. White clover is unchanged at Is to Is Cd. The potato market remains inactive with merchants still offering £3 10s per ton. Growers are disinclined to break £4.
