SHIPMENT OF POTATOES
SOUTH AMERICAN INQUIRIES (United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, 16th June. Several inquiries have been received at Christchurch for shipment of potatoes to Argentina and Uruguay. No sales have yet been made, but as the South American crop is short this year merchants hope the negotiations now in progress will end in export orders being booked. Two thousand tons of New Zealand potatoes, nearly all from Canterbury, were shipped to the order of the Uruguayan Government in 1933. The price received varied then from £5 10s to £7 a ton f.o.b. Merchants at Wellington and Timaru have also received inquiries, and if orders are booked export would have the effect of steadying the market.
