FAMINE PRICES.
POTATOES IN DUNEDIN. (I!y Telegraph.—Special t6 "Star.") DUNEDIN, this day. Good quality table potatoes are still extremely scarce and merchants hav' e recently offered growers £18 per ton. I his appears a very enticing price for growers with supplies on hand to Quit their produce, but they consider will rise higher, and that an offer of ±25 a toil would probably occasion them to think seriously of selling. The public tip doubt clues these growers as profiteers, but it must be remembered that the public hasj been obtaining table potatoes for a number of years at a price that hardly covered working expenses of the grower, and the, present short supply, with attendant high j prices, will enable a few growers to make' up losses experienced in the past. |
