It is clarified that thedensity of negatively charged dust particles below the threshold value makes the potential decreasemonoton-ically. When the dust densities are above the threshold, there appears the stationaryoscillation in an electrostatic potential due to the streaming plasma. It is found that thewavelength of this mode is of the order of Debye length.
