POTATOES.

- With reference to the local market, says tho.tWangan.ui Hera.ld, supplies are very short,- and the prices correspondingly high, £14 per ton being tlie ruling figure. In conversation with Mr T. D. Cummins, who has had a long business experience in W&ngarfui, he informed us that the price of potatoes was higher than he had ever before experienced, and he was inclined to think, that the top figuro had not yet been reached. The outlook for householders _waa ( .he thought, by no means encouraging, aa'he believed it would take several years before' prices reached reasonable limits. In -arriving at) his conclusions, Mr Cummins .said, that seed potatoes were now so high that the poor man and 6mall settler could not afford to buy them ; while, on the other hand, many of those who were in -a position to purchase seed, say at- £12 to £14' a ton, would not take, the risk of planting foT fear' of tho disease, which "had appeared in various places in the dietriot. - No doubt- there would be some little 'specalaiion in potato-growing, and the man who was able tc evade the disease would do well, but there ivas considerable risk.
