Tuber Cheaper Than Ever Before in the
Market at Chicago.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-Not within the
memory of the Oldest South Water
street merchants have potatoes sold as
cheap as at present. Car lots on track
of the choicest varities are selling at
% 10 "a cents per bushel, and any
cents per bushel Even at these low
prices there is little demand, and the
railway tracks within the Chicago
yards are glutted-
The Chicago and Northwestern has
notified its agents at country stations
not to receive any more potatoes till
further notice. Minnesota and Wis
consin have more potatoes than they
need. In Minnesota many farmers
are leaving them 10 rot in the ground,
as they are not worth digging. On
Minnesota farms as choice and fair
skinned potatoes as a farmer would
care to see are selling at to 10 cents
Fer bushel. In Wisconsin thousands of
bushels are buried in improvised cellars
in the fields awaiting shipment, and
the chances are that with the appear
anee of winter much of this produce
will prove total loss to farmers.
Iowa has big crop but the quality
is poor. Michigan also has large yield
of good quality. 1t was estimated yes
terday that there were 275 cars on track
IN Chicago, or about 1906 bushels
Yesterdays fresh receipts were 100 cars.
Chicago consumes about TWENTY-FIVE
cars day, and the outlet for the rest
OF the daily receipts has practically
closed, for the reason that the south
and other markets that usually draw
on this city for potatoes are we'll SUD-
Piled by farmers near them.
How to dispose of the supply is be-
coming a serious problem to commits
sion merchants. Some are of the opin-
ion that further slump in prices will
be witnessed before the glut is relieved.
and that potatoes will be selling in Chi
cago at 10 to II cents per bushel. Others
are or the opinion that present prices
are so low that country shippers will
quit sending them, and the surplus will
be worked off without a further level
ing down of prices.
There Is one important feature in the
situation that may help out the farm
ers. III is the continued development by
rot. Loss on this score is not uniform
