GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKET QUIET. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 9. Business in the grain and produce markets this week has been restrained but this i snot unusual for this time of year. Most of the merchants are busy dressing seed and going over stocks bought during the season. There is a small but steady inquiry for potatoes, which are now beginning to come out of the ground. Crops are reported to be very patchy, as might have been expected after the unfavourable growing season. There has already been some export to the North Island. The price remains steady at £7 on trucks for whites, with Sutton's at £7 10s. There is not a great deal of trade in oats, which are unchanged from last week. Chaff is quiet at £3 10s on trucks. Trade demand for chaff has not yet developed and will not till the colder weather. The May increment brought in a fair amount of wheat but deliveries have again fallen away. The small seed trade is dull. There is little local trade now and export is dependent on the shipping situation.
