POTATO PRICES FALL
REDUCTION OF £4 A TON IN SYDNEY EFFECT OF WOMEN’S BOYCOTT SYDNEY, Monday. The prohibitive price of potatoes has led to a decrease in consumption. As a result the price today was reduced by £4 a ton to £lB.

Tasmanian growers disclaim responsibility for the famine prices charged. They say the bad season and the floods affected the crops.
