PRICE OF POTATOES.
"SOUTH ISLAND DRAINING THE NORTH." Interviewed by a Wellington Times representative last week, a number of wholesale produce merchants stated that the best potatoes were firm at present at ;Cll per ton wholesale,, and had been so for some weeeks past. They were quoted however, as low as .-£7 per ton for delivery 'in April next. When [the new southern crop comes in it was expected that the price would be reduced at least two or three pounds a ton. There will be no downward tendency in the price of pototoes, it was stated, till they come in from the South Island. At present North Island potatoes are all there are coming in. As a matter of fact, the South Island is draining on the North Island. A lot of potatoes went from Wellington to Timaru lust week, and Christcliurcli is also asking for potatoes.
