SHORTAGE OF POTATOES.
HIGH PRICES IN SYDNEY.
NO IMMEDIATE BELIEF:
Australian and N.Z. Cable Ae«ociatioii.,.. (Reed. 5.5 p.m.) SYDNEY. Nov. 9.
The scarcity of potatoes is hitting the public hard. Despito the housewives' boycott in view of the extreme prices, there is a keen demand for the small lots which are offering. £20 per ton has been paid for small tubers, locally grown, which are unsaleable in the ordinary market. It is anticipated that prices will soar still higher, and there is little prospect of relief before the middle of December, when Western Australian potatoes will be available.
