SOUTHERN POTATO MARKET.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, October 30. _ The general opinion in the trade is that the Government Statistician's estimate of thfe area under potatoes for the coming season is too low. The figures, for one thing, probably cannot include planting which probably will be done for a week or two yet, and sales of seed and manure indicate a larger increase than the figur.es show. The market for potatoes has completed its erratic course for this season and no interest is being shown. Quotations are only nominal and merchants are content to purchase their requirements as orders come in.
