CANTERBURY MARKETS
WET WEATHER DELAYS FARM WORK. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, September 19. The wet weather recently has held up country work and, though some seed wheat has gone out this week, it is probable that many farmers who would have sown spring wheat will now have to sow peas or barley instead. It is unlikely that this will have a great effect on total acreage as the weather in the autumn was almost ideal for getting the crop in. A certain amount of retail trade in small seeds is passing and should increase when the weather settles. Potatoes are very quiet, with little business. It is not yet known what quantities the Government will land in the North Island and till this is known the market here is likely to remain quiet. Good onions are becoming increasingly scarce and are now worth from £l5 to £l6 a ton.
