General Trade.

A leading feature among produce
dealers and home farmers just now is
the growing potato crop. A large area
has been planted in this vicinity, and
the prospect could not be more fat
tering than at present. Shippers ex-
pect to commence forwarding to upper
country markets about four weeks
from this, and the prices are expected
to rule higher. Various dealers here
have been engaging entire fields at So
per Dbl loose from wagon, and higher
figures are talked Of. The lateness Of
the season in the north is likely to
keep up a brisk demand until our
whole growth is gathered and forward
ed. The talk is that as high as 4per
Dbl for first gatherings may be readily
realized by farmers, while prices in
northern cities may range from Sc to
81, and perhaps higher. Several deal
ers here went in freely last year, and
came out with their fingers burnt.
They hope to get all back
this time. Nearly all the
potato man have from % to DO acres
more or less growing, and this class
all feel buoyant. The few new pota-
toes 50 far offered have come from
