The demand for this class is good, but broken samples are not in re-quest. Potatoes — Prime Northern Derwents meet a fair demand at quotations ; Southern Derwents, more plentiful, and values a shade weaker. We quote : Best Northern Derwents, £3 to £3 2s 6d; best Southorn do., £2 15s to £3 ; medium, £2 10s to £2 12s 6d per ton (bags in).
