A new source of potato supplies has apparently been discovered, Te , Mahia Bay, Marlborough, sending to Wellington last week several tons of new potatoes, which realised £2B a ton at auction. Hitherto most of Wellington’s supplies of early potatoes have come from the Auc - land district, but it appears evident, says the Evening Post, that the Sounds district is going to be an active competitor for the Wellington market in the future. Several parts of the Marlborough Sounds district are growing other .early vegetables, and it is probable that a steady trade will be maintained in this direction, particularly in the early part of the season. Te Malna Bay has hitherto been considered more of a tourist resort than anything else.
