The Potato Crop.


| REPORT FROM THE EASTERN STATES AMI
PROVINCES.
| The potato crop of the Eastern States and Pro
| Niucc>. the sections from which Boston and \, "
| Orh and tributary markets derive their supply
| averages upon The whole about As last wear
| According to 800 reports received by the New
| England Homestead last week the crop in New
| England and New York is considerably less
| Than last year and not large lit the West, bul
| this deicit Is largely made up by a biz Weld i'll
| the Provinces. All through the potato-@row-
| n@ sections of Prince Edward Island. Nova
| Scotia and New Brunswick. where the crop
was almost total failure i'll 1854 and but halt
a crop in lSs5, the production this year averages
| 13 per cent. OF Il full crop. or about lG5 bush
els per acre, against 50 bushels last year. Prices
are from Is to 30 cents per bu>hcl on Prince
| Edward Island to 30 and 40 cents near Local
markets. the farmers being free SELLERS. Take
30 cents as the average price, add - cents duty
all of 10 cents for freightS, commissions and
profits, ana il Will be seen that when domt>ti il
potatoes sell much above 60 cents in Boston
the Provincial crops will come III competition
and prevent higher prices. When the average
of all our reports show an acreage within five
per cent. of last years, the same yield per acre
and a fair average quality. We find small basis
| for expecting anything more than the usual
| course Of the market, the price being 30 cents
on an average now. with the usual advance to
20 cents in March.
II is stated as fact, that the people of this
State held mortgages on outside property to
the amount of fifty millions of dollars. OF the
thlrty-ivc millions deposited in our tiftyfour
banks, at least twenty-five millions are invested
outside of Maine. In York county, says the
B!'idcford journal, there are now on the bank
books OF dCpo>itOrS over four million dollars
two and a half millions of thiS have been semi
out of the State and one million seven hundred
