GRAIN AND PRODUCE
CANTERBURY MARKETS QUIET. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, August 8. The potato market, which has- been staggering under the heavy shipments of the middle of last month, has received another blow this week in the shipment of 10,500 sacks from Timaru. Next week another vessel is due to leave, probably with about 4000 sacks on board. With these two ships the northeern market will have received in four weeks approximately 52,000 sacks of southern potatoes. The market, as might be expected, is exceedingly quiet this week. Other markets are very quiet. Overseas inquiry for small seeds, which has been fairly consistent this year, has also fallen off, probably because it is now the middle of the Northern Hemisphere harvest.
