GLUT OF POTATOES EXPERIENCE IN NELSON INCONSISTENCY OF PRICES. Nelson, Dec. 30. Nelson, which, like tne *e.t uf New Zeaiaau, aiLuersu num a pout.) age a lew 1 montns ago, is now experiencing a giUv. as one niei chant iema* lk ee, • ±l, i s eitner a least ur a famine.” Farmers have been coming into town trying to sell their new potatoes, but many or them have been ana are laced with the prospect of having potatoes leit on their hanas. The Nelson season has been favour* ab.u aur pom.ues and the yield has been good. Besides more being available than local merchants can cope with at present, the demand from the West Coast and Wellington is not what was anticipated. New potatoes do not keep like the main crop. Growers would quite at less than the nxed price of £lB a ton, for they are doubtiul whether they will get a payable return even if they could keep them until January and February, when the price will drop to £l4. It is apparent that price fixing has complicated the position. The wholesale price of potatoes sold to retailers was previously the price paid to the growers, plus transport costs and commissions. An amendment to the order making that price has now been received in Nelson, fixing the wholesale price at the definite sum of £l7 IC.S. According to the regulations, that meant that the merchant was supposed to pay the grower £lB and sell to the retailer at £l7 10s. No alteration was made in the grower’s price. On referring the inconsistency of prices to Wellington, it was stated that the position had been realised, but no public explanation was forthcoming of steps, if any. taken to rectify it.
