There is considerable excitement and great &C.
tivity in the potato market at the present time.
Farmers now receive from seventy to eighty cents
per bushel for potatoes. They have simply to as
sort them, and haul them to the nearest railroad
station, and receive their cash. The farmers Of
Maine are thus receiving thousands of dollars
flowing into their Golfers from the large cities,
Boston, New York and Philadelphia, where there
is a great demand for this staple crop. Last year
there was an abundant crop, and consequently
low prices ruled. This so discouraged our
farmers, that, as general thing, the usual breadth
of potatoes was not planted the past season.
Some Kennebec farmers, the past week, have
'raked in" from five hundred to six hundred dol
lars each, for potatoes clean cash-very accepta-
about this time.

Business at the sprague Mills.

The factories Of the Spraguc Manufacturing
Company in this city, never performed better work
or more rapidly, than at the present time, giving
constant and permanent employment to between
four hundred and five hundred persons. They have
just completed the largest weeks work ever done
at the mill. They have manufactured the past
week, one hundred and ffty-six thousand yards Of
print cloths, all finished and put into bales and
forwarded to the print works at Cranston, II. l.,
where the cloth will be stamped ready to be put
upon the market This is a weeks work of which
managers and operators may well be proud. No
extra time or force were required to produce it.
Ninety five thousand yards of cloth were woven
the last month, in excess Of the amount woven at
the mills during the corresponding month last
year. This is partly owing to the excellent quail
ity of cotton that has been used. 1t is easier
worked, runs through the machines smoothly,
and makes better quality of goods. This man
ufacturing company challenges any company in
the country to turn out better quality Of stand
ard prints. Business at the mills has been very
| active since the starting up.
