CONSIGNMENT SENT BACK FROM AUCKLAND (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, Aug. 12. A shipment of 100 tons of Victorian potatoes, which arrived by the steamer Kartigi on July 22, is to be re-consigned back to Australia by the Ulimaroa to-day. New regulations regarding the importation of potatoes were gazetted when the shipment was on the water, anil in response to cablegrams the Australian exporters forwarded certificates complying with the regulations. Samples were forwarded to Wellington with the necessary papers. Several days elapsed without any word from, the Government and the Auckland) merchants who were to take delivery decided to cancel the order. The Auckland agent of the Victorian company then received instructions to ship the potatoes back to Australia. Before the necessary arrangements were made the Department of Agriculture issued the authority for the landing of the potatoes. The agent then sought further advice from the company and yesterday a cablegram arrived confirming the previous instruction to the effect that the potatoes should be returned to Victoria.
