POTATO EXPORT
South American Inquiries (United Press Association.) Christchurch, June 16. Several inquiries have been received in Christchurch for the 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 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. ine price received varied then from £5 10/- to £7 a ton f.o.b. Merchants in Wellington and Timaru have also received inquiries. If orders are booked the export would have the effect ot steadying the market.
