SURPLUS POTATOES
NO MARKET AVAILABLE [Br TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION'] CHRISTCHURCH, Friday The Canterbury potato market haJ virtually ended. North Island merchants have informed Christchurch merchants that, with potatoes bought earlier and not yet delivered and stocks on hand,; they have sufficient supplies to see them through until the new crop conies on the market, which is expected to be about the middle of October.
Hopes that a market would be found in South America to help growers dispose of at least some of their surplus crop have not been realised. An inquiry was received in New fro® South America for 7000 tons if th# price was favourable, and suitable arrangements could have been made about payment, but it is reported tha all efforts to secure freight have been unsuccessful.
