Chinese gardeners at Otaki have been badiy hit by the overstocking of the market with vegetables. There is an unusual abundance of cabbages, beans, and other seasonable vegetables, and tons of them are rotting away in the ground. The Chinese have found that with present prices for their produce it does not pay to send it from Otaki to Wellington. Numbers of mem are ploughing the rotting vegetables into the ground.
