WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. -Consid erably
more than half million bushels Of pc.
tatoes, weighing 81, rs tons. were
brought from Scotland to the United
States in nine months ended in June,
and this, too. Notwithstanding . pro.
tective tariff of Is cents por bushel ON
imported potatoes. This fact is set out
in a report to the state departments by
United States Consul Savage, at Dun.
dee, Scotland. Nothing but the best
potatoes. magnum bonums and bruces,
are shipped to America. The price at
the beginning of the season was $ll.55
per ton, f. o. b., exclusive of the cost of
sacks-l3 cents each. The freight from,
Dundee to New York was $2.85.
The consul reports that the outlook
for this seasons business is uncertain:
The Scotch acreage is smaller than that
of last year, less Of the export brands
have been planted, and the crop has
suffered from frost and rain. all poiut.
ing to higher prices.
On the other hand the reduction of
the tariff on potatoes by our new tariff
act from IS to Is cents per bushel, and
the expected rise in price of potatoes
owing to our own short crop, may
largely increase shipments from Scot
land n%
