ntry Produce-Jobbing Prices.


Mond ays usual quietness prevailed. Prices
were es sentially the same as at the close of
last week. Advices from the far " est point to
a yer short crop of potatoes A year ago at
this time potatoes were drug in Kansas and
Iowa and large quantities from these States
were brought to this city. Now the boot is on
the other leg, and Kansas dealers are inquir-
ing as to prices of potatoes with a view to buy
ing at this point. A Liberty street commits
sion merchant was advised by Kansas corre-
spondent To-Day that potatoes were almost an
entire failure in that section by reason of
drought and that prices there were already
81 so per bushel, against less than 25c per
bushei at this time last year. Said this produce
merchant: "From present outlook potatoes
will be higher the coming fall and winter than
they have been for 20 years or more. From all
sections of country our advices are that crop IS
unusually light. At present prices would be
glad to engage all the potatoes could get for
winter Stock There is no article of diet more
essential to the wants of the common consumer
than the potato, and fear they will be COM
pelled to pay more for this article the coming
winter than ever before"
