§ Mr. RAMSBOTHAMasked the Minister of Agriculture the present price per ton of potatoes in Canada and the present price per ton of the same article in this country?
§ Mr. N. BUXTONAccording to figures published in the "Montreal Gazette" of 5th February last, the price of certain varieties of potatoes in that town ranged between £8 17s. 6d. and £9 7s. 6d. per ton. For the week ending 5th February the price of potatoes at wholesale markets in England and Wales averaged £3 10s. per ton. I am unable to say to what extent the above figures are comparable from the point of view of the qualities involved.
