THE POTATO MAKKET
SOUTH ISLAND ACTIVITY
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, June 7.
The excitement in the potato market has subsided to some extent, and at the moment there is very little movement. Up to £6 12s 6d and £6 15s has been paid during a brief spurt by over-sellers, but the limit asked today for prompts is £6 10s. However, buyers' limits for whites is to £6 7s 6d, and for Dakotas £6. Quotations to farmers are £5 for whites and to £4 15s for Dakotas, JulySeptember quotations are £7 10s a ton i.0.b., s.i., but an odd sale or two has been made at less than this figure.
A new factor in the position has developed within the last few days. Potatoes have been offered from the Bluff at £6 5s for June, and it is understood that 300 tons have been sold for the north. Dunedin is also reported to be quoting in small quantities.
