Lieut.-Colonel Sir A. LAMBERT WARD (Vice-Chamberlain of the Household):

I have been asked to reply. Prices of Jersey potatoes last week fell substantially. There was a rise at the end of the week, but prices are still below those ruling during the week ended 19th June. The market situation, which is affected by the delayed maturity of the crop due to adverse weather conditions in this and other countries, is being closely watched by the Market Supply Committee.
