GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKETS. LITTLE ACTIVITY. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, June 13. The grain and produce markets have been quiet during the week with activity confined to potatoes and to a small movement in Italian ryegrass. Potatoes, which began the week with values for whites and Dakotas below £6 a ton, firmed a little toward the end of the week and were worth today £6 a ton, with Suttons at £6 16s. The firming was the result of a slightly better North Island inquiry and also some activity locally. The crops, which earlier in tile year promised to be anything but good, are turning out much better than was then expected. Many crops, of course, have turned out badly, but in general the yield has been surprisingly good. Italian ryegrass has had a better demand in the last few days, presumably dor shipping overseas. Stocks are not heavy but so far there has been no movement in price.
