GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKETS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, May 31. The weather for this week has been almost ideal for lifting the potato crop, and the work is now well advanced in most districts. Crops have turned out rather better than was expected, and as a consequence there has been an easing in the price which stands now at £6 10s for Whites and £7 for Suttons. Very little business is passing at the reduced prices, and North Island inquiries are small. The increment of Id a bushel will go on to the wheat price for May. Reports indicate that the bulk of the crop for the season has now been handled, and it is unlikely that much will come in to take advantage of the rise. Most farmers who have been able to hold till May are able to keep their wheat till August and September for the maximum prices. There is very little business in oats which are unchanged in value. The mild weather has kept down the demand for chaff, for which there is only a very small inquiry. The price remains at £3 10s a ton. The small seeds trade is very quiet, with little or no trading in any line.
