NEW ZEALAND POTATOES
INQUIRY FROM SOUTH AMERICA
MERCHANTS HOPEFUL OF BUSINESS
(Pkr United Press Association)
CHRISTCHURCH, June 16,
Several inquiries have been received in Christchurch for a 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 that the negotiations now in progress will end in export orders being booked.
About 2000 tons of New Zealand potatoes, nearly all from Canterbury, were shipped to the order of the Uruguayan Government in 1933. The price received varied from £5 10s to £7 per ton, f.o.b Merchants in Wellington and Timaru have also received inquiries. If orders are booked for export it would have the effect of steadying the market.
