EXPORT OF POTATOES.
It is anticipated that about 1000 tons of Canterbury potatoes will be shipped to South America from Lytttelton and Timaru early next month. Their destination will be Valparaiso. A few years ago shipments of potatoes to South American ports were' not uncommon, but the present one is the first arranged for about five years. The transaction was carried out through a Wellington agent. It is not unlikely that further shipments will be sent to the same part of the world.
The room in the tower of Big Ben which houses the clock of the House of Commons, formerly used to imprison refractory Members of the Commons, is being devoted to the provision of additional space for official residence.
