Farmers are under the impression
that potatoes will be likely to maintain
their present prices, and run up all the
way to 81 per bushel. So strong are
many of them in this belief that they
refuse to sell at the present prices. We
predict they will land short, and give
as our reason for this belief the fact
THAI the crop in the country at large is
100000 bushels in excess of that of
last year, that the rot which damaged
the crop in these parts was simply CON
fined to a small territory in the East,
and there is no "scare" anywhere.
