picked and cured-the shipments last

placed by foreign countries upon the
importation of American potatoes from
fear of the Colorado beetle, there has,
however, been an increase in the expor-

never been very great. The expectations

is in excess of the combined shipments
from Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
seaboard cities. .-NeO York Bulletin.
