"The. public do not appear to realise how cheap potatoes: arc at the present time," remarked a produce auctioneer to a , Wellington Post reporter the other morning. added that the present price in the store is now from £4 10s to £5 a ton, which is far cheaper than they have been for years past at this season. It is singular, too, to note that at Welling-' ton the greater portion of the supply is even yet drawn from New Zealand, only about 25 per cent, coming from Tasmania. The New Zealand supply is, however, apparently getting used up, and there are indications that in a little while the Island State-will have to-be drawn upon to a much, greater extent than at present.
