Tne wno,esa,e po,ato Market.

"The wholesale potato market is quite
firm, with an upward tendency" said /.
G. Davenport, a Philadelphia dealer in the
tubers, to a reporter IN Saturday, in re-
ply to a question as to the condition of the
trade. While the crop in the Middle and
Eastern States, except Maine, was quite
light, that of the West was very heavy,
but hardly Of as good quality as the nearer
home growth. Even counting the in
creased production in the West, Mr..
Davenport says the crop is behind that of
last year. Before October potatoes sold
for higher prices than they did at a similar
period last year, but since then and up to
the close of last week they ruled some
what lower, but the indications are, he
says, that from now on prices will advance.
Last year it is said that no potatoes were
imported, but this year already there have
been several invoices received in New
York from Scotland, and it is also said
that later on importations will be made
direct to Philadelphia. At present prices of
the domestic product it does not pay to
import them, as the freight viii average
nearly half a cent a pound, or 80 cents a
bushel, to which must be added the duty
of IS cents a busbel, while the freight from
Iowa, Indiana or Illinois to Philadelphia is
about 20 cents a bushel. Even while do
nestle potatoes can at present be sold
cheaper than the foreign, the alleged SUI
perior excellence of the Scotch vegetable,
especially the Magnum variety, causes a
demand for it at a higher price. On Sat
urday domestic potatoes were selling in
carload lots at from 40 TO IS cents, and in
store at from so to 65 cents a bushel.
