BOYCOTT ON POTATOES
SYDNEY HOUSEWIVES’ ACTION. CORNER IN MARKET ALLEGED. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received July 18, 10.3’5 p.m. Sydney, July 18. The Housewives’ Association of Sydney to-day decided to institute a boycott on potatoes until the merchants have ceased their alleged cornering of the market. One woman speaker insisted the consumers should demand the lifting of the Federal ban on New Zealand potatoes, but the chairwoman answered that that would take too long. Reports from Tasmania state the recent floods and frosts have partly spoiled the potato crops.
