DEARER POTATOES
NO MORE IMPORTS
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
There has been but little activity in. the, grain and produce markets this week. Except for potatoes, no section commands much interest.
It is reported that there will be rio further Government shipments of potatoes from Australia. Stocks remaining on farmers' hands in JMorth Canterbury are now very small and the situation in South Canterbury is said to be but little better.
Locally "white" potatoes are almost impossible to procure, though there are a few Suttons and Dakotas left.
Small shipments continue to go north but the season is now virtually finished.
Prices to farmers have risen by £1 per ton on the week.
The weather has interfered with the small retail trade in seeds, and seeds markets are dull.
