GRAIN AND PRODUCE
Canterbury markets.
DEMAND FOR SEEDS QUIET.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 3
The May increment of Id a bushel went on to wheat this week, bringing prices to the following levels: Tuscan 5s Bd, Hunters 5s lOd, pearl 6s, and marquis Gs 2d. A good inquiry contonues for seed wheat for autumn sowing.
There have been no developments concerning the Australian embargo on New Zealand potatoes, and the local market is inclined to be slightly easier. Some inquiries have been received 1 from the North Island, mostly from Auckland. It is reported that local growers have been holding their potatoes on the chance of an export market. Quotations remains at up to £4 a ton at handy stations. Markets for seeds remain quiet at previous prices.
