POTATOES FOR AUSTRALIA
QUOTA NEARLY FULFILLED (By Telegraph.--Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, Friday Another shipment of approximately 1000 tons of potatoes was sent from Lyttelton to Sydney this week. This completes the Lyttelton quota under the arrangement reached some months ago to export 5000 tons to Australia this season. The final shipment of approximately 600 tons will be from Timaru early next month. New Zealand potatoes are selling in Sydney now at £l3 a ton and on this price the Government should be clearing between £2 and £3 a ton where it was more or less only balancing accounts on the earlier shipments.
The Railways Department advertises in ‘ this issue particulars of cheap fares and train arrangements in connection with the trotting meeting at Thames on October 5.
