People who are fond of mushrooms should eschew a bright red one with yellow spots.

The potato market continues extraordinarily sensitive, changing in the course of a few hours hv os to 10s a ton, stated a Christchurch paj>cr in Saturday’s issue. On Friday. £G 15s was the basis of a few sales for July, hut ill the morning £'G 17s Gd ruled, and that afternoon £7 was the current rate. The wot weather, which will hold up digging for a few days, may be the cause of the finning, but another aspect is that any prompt potatoes wanted are not very easily obtained. Farmers are not selling at the prices quoted—£s os for prompt and £.5 10s for later in the month. “Paper” potatoes are plentiful enough, but the real article cannot ho got a hold of in any quantity at a moment’s notice.

The new fiscal year for the quota of immigration into the United States began on July Ist. Each country’s quota, is based on two per’cent, of its nationals already residing in the States, but there is a minimum quota of 100. which applies to New Zealand. Half the number is held temporarily in reserve for relatives of people already in the States, and as there are already thirty applications from the AVcllinglon district alone, and about the same number from New Zealanders abroad, who have to apply through the Consul-General in their home country, the list for the next month or so is full. In commenting upon the position, Mr W. Low rie. the United States Consul-General, remarked that last year’s quota was filled only about three weeks ago, and that it had no! become necesnry to refuse any desirable immigrant.

There was some excitement in the House on Friday night says the correspondent of the “ Lyttelton Times,” when the member for Westland. Mr Seddon. charged the Labour Party with having run an art union on the AVest Coast for payment of the ex* ponses of two Labour candidates who were involved in Election Court proceedings following on the general election. When Air Seddon made his statement it was hotly denied by the leader of the Opposition, Air Holland, and ATr P. Fraser, AVellington Central. “ I question that statement now,” said .Mr Fraser. ‘‘l am not used to having my statements questioned,” replied Air Seddon with some heat. He said he would produce the paper with the advertisement. He did. so subsequently and read to the House advertisements in a AVest Coast Labour paper stating that the proceeds were for the liquidation of election debts. Air P. Fraser declared that Air Seddon bad been very ungenerous in bis references to an opponent. Whatever the advertisement said it had no bearing on the general Labour funds, as it was purely a. Canterbury matter. Afr Armstrong, who mentioned that he was a trustee of the Canterbury Labour Art Union, said it had nothing to do with the Labour candidate for Westland as O’Brien’s expenses were paid long ago.
