POTATO MARKETS. 



SOUTH WARK WATERSIDE, Monday, March 29.— 

 Since our last export supplies have been light coastwise, but 

 heavy from foreign ports. Our markets having been pre- 

 viously pretty clear, there was a ready demand all last week 

 at much the s.ime prices as quoted on Monday the 22ad inst. 

 The following are this day's quotations : — 



Yorkshire Regents 1403. to 1908. per ton, 



Lincolnshire do. 1403. to I6O3. „

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. 

 LONDON, Monday, March 29.— The arrivals of potatoes, 

 coastwise and by railway, last week, were moderate. The im- 

 ports were 1,005 tons from Autwerp, 826 tons from Rouen, 

 837 tons from Dunkirk, 47 tons from Ostend, 80 tons from 

 Tornenzen, 265 tons from Ghent, 270 tons from Calais, and 

 110 tons from Louvaine. Selected samples are firm and rather 

 dearer, and the value of other kinds is fairly supported.
