POTATOES AND ONIONS.
Potatoes: The Wimmera brought 1465 sacks from the south to a market not orei^-supolied. The price in Auckland to-day is lower than potatoes would cost to lay down. This is evidently or. account of buyers, who bought before ' the advance, accepting less than it would cost to-day to replacp. Potatoes are still coming in from the middle of this island by rail, but it is reported that stocks in Palmerston and surrounding districts are reducing; very fast, and a, .firmer market is looked for in the near , future. Price, £? 10s ex store. Onions: "the Wimmera brought a shipment of 1021 bags from the south. This market is very bare, and stocks will soon be light again. The price has advanced in the South as growers see very few onions available. Price, £12 10s.—-Auckland News.
