TO CORRESPONDENTS.
PRICES OF POTATOES IN THE LONDON MARKETS.—In
reply to a letter received from a correspondent, on the sub-
ject of the prices of potatoes in the Borough and Spits Melds
markets, we may observe, that those which have been lately
inserted in our reports have referred to several very superior
qualities, received chiefly by railway from distant parts of the
country, and which have proved free from disease. He will
observe that our general quotations refer to the value on
ship-board, and not to those parcels which have been sorted.
Of course, when the diseased and otherwise out-of-condition
qualities are sold separately, miserably low rates are obtained
for them ; but such information would be of no service what-
ever to the distant growers, whose potatoes are invariably
disposed of in bulk. The potatoes grown in the immediate
vicinity of the metropolis—nearly the whole of which are
brought to market in the early part of the season—do not,
generally speaking, produce so much money as those grown
in the north.
