POTATO INQUIRIES
South American Shortage
By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, June IG.
Several inquiries have been received at Christchurch for shipment of potatoes to Argentina and Uruguay. No sales have yet been made, but as tlie South American crop is short this year merchants hope the negotiations now in progress will end in export orders being booked. Two. thousand tons of New Zealand potatoes, nearly all from Canterbury, were shipped to the order of the Uruguayan Government in 1933. The price received varied then from £5/10/- to £7 a ton f.o.b. Merchants at Wellington and Timaru have also received inquiries! and if orders are booked export would have the effect of steadying the market.
