TARIFF ON POTATOES.
Floss Association. DUNEDIN, Yesterday. Mr. iMoritzson, a large grain merchant., says the altering of the potato duty from 20 per cent, to 20s a ton puts potatoes up to the extent of 12s a ton, and a corresponding rise in values may bo expected in a few days. He suggests two per cent, up to the invoice price of £5 and when that figure is reached the duty to remain at £1 a ton; this would protect the grower when prices are low, and would protect the consumer when prices are high.
