Concerning the Potato Market.

EDITOR REGlsTER:-W bile at your
M; nv, c .'nt many weeks ago, | expressed
winch W yGd surprise at the. low figures for
their stock, being at from 40 TO As cents
per bushel, while the dealers on the
Delaware & HUDSON road, in the south
ern part of Washington county, were
paying from 60 to 20 cents for the same
kind OF stock. do not blame the buy
ers for buying as low as possible, but
there are two classes which are to be
highly blamed, and one of these two
gets severely punished for their neglect.
These two are, first the editors of local
papers, who do not supply their readers
with the city needs and markets. We
do not see it in the country papers, but
il is true that for fifteen years there has
not been so few potatoes loaded In
boats on the Champlain Canal as has
been this season; reason, were not there
to load. 1t a fact conceded in New
York that the average of potatoes on
Thirty-Fourth street is and has been be-
low other years. 1t is true that we have
no reason to expect any foreign stock,
as we had last year, for in Ireland and
Scotland they have rotted badly.
There is another fact, viz, the BUYERS in
the city have tried and have succeeded
in keeping these facts concealed from
the majority of farmers, and have cried
a great crop, etc. The other class to
be blamed are the farmers themselves
They should inform themselves from
papers which are in the interest of the
farmer, such as the Country Gentleman,
Rural New Yorker, clc. Some cannot
see il, bnt il is true that by carefully
Watching, they may not only save, as is
often said, the price of the paper, but
sometimes ten or twenty and even forty
cents on bnshel Oh their whole crop,
which in many cases would pay tor a
paper for years. Yours,
G. b. CARTER.

writers is, if to an intimate friend, pour

the public will not be slow to suspect
that this zeal arises chiefly from de-
sire to keep possessions of the offies
in case, of Democratic success In 1884.
On the other hand, the sudden luke
warmness of the Democrats Oh the

improved party prospects, is quite as
laugbable. The position o the leaders

TA correspondent, whose con

this Issue, blames the editors of thu
country papers for not keeping theil
readers,more fully informed as to tho
produce markets in the cities. There
is reason in what he says as to the
dnties of the loaol papers, bpt as a mat.
ter Of fact we believe that there has
been no source of information from
which they could obtain such figures as
our correspondent quoted as being
paid elsewhere at the time when our
farmers were selling for forty cents.
A large majority of the farmers of this
country take some good agricultural
paper, and the fact that they sold at the
low prices prevailing in October shows
that no better prices were quoted.

liable sources, ard so far as in us
lies our readers will each week

nation which they will need 10 guide
