POTATO POSITION
MARKET "VERY DULL"
The second shipment of 1000 tons of potatoes for Australia has been arranged, leaving 3000 tons to be sent away in September or later. The local market remains very dull with no improvement on the low prices which have been ruling. A heavy shipment left for the North Island this week and supplies now in sight, should keep the market there amply supplied for the month. : A vessel took 9300 sacks from Timaru and 2500 from Lyttelton. Both growers and merchants are anxiously awaiting the Government's statement m reply to a deputation which waited on it to ask for a minimum price.
