TO lay in their winter supply. A change
from warm to cold weather would undoubt-
edly produce a very active demand for po-
tatoes. Car lots sold this week at the eX-
heme quotation, but they were choice and
very smooth and clean. Small and inferior
stock is not wanted and is hard to sell even
at the lowest quotations. Colorado and
