Potatoes (Derwents) may be quoted at up to 60s, at sidings, but the market is so unstable that buyers are shy. Locally-grown kidneys are expected to be forward in sufficient quantities at the end of next week. Present values are 9s to 10s per cwt. Eggs, in view of the Christmas season, are inclined to improve. To-day they are worth 7d. Dairy butter, 5d to 6d.
