GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKETS. PRACTICALLY AT STANDSTILL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, December 27. Grain and produce markets are practically at a standstill. Apart from holiday inactivity, merchants are reluctant to undertake any business till the new season’s crops are offered and the market has had time to settle down. The new year will open with stocks of most lines in small compass and with very little of good quality available. Algerian and Dun Oats are an exception, as of both these there is some holdovers, though it is not large. The new season’s oats should be arriving soon, and some small seeds. If the present weather keeps up the earlier harvested wheat should begin to make its appearance about the middle of next month. The price for this harvest is the same as for the last at ss. 9d. a bushel f.o.b. for March Tuscan.
