PRICE or POTATOES.

Texas farmers are now obtaining 40c a
bustel fer all potatoes sold on the local
market. The crop this year was very
ANAL and dealers have been receiving
supplies from Kansas and Arkansas. These
potatoes can be thought from another
State and sold at the same price as the
Texas product This means that the
Texas farmer secures four times as much
for his potatoes as the Kansas farmer,
for, after deductng freight. commission
and other charges. y, will be found that
the original pnce paid in Kansas was
only l0c per bushel.
Tas is further confirmed by the fol-
loving telegram from Kansas City, dated
JUN 70: The crop of new potatoes is
immense. ne, only around Kansas CITY.
but in all the producing sections. Tins
fact has destroyed the shipping market
fer the near by growers, ana in conse-
q,ieace the entire product Is thrown on
the local market and has borne down the
price below the cos. of production Dur
Ing the last week the prices ranged from
" to l2l2 cents IA bushels, and on several
days the farmers We're begging marketers
70 buy potatoes at 10 cents, which Is near
" cents ksss than the cost of produce
ton The ruling price at present Is the
lowest ever known. A comparison with
tho prices on July % for seven yeacs is
q follows: In lSsa, nos II hushel: In 1891.

DREDGING AT CHERRY ISLAND.
A DITCH 100 TO $50 FEET WIDE
WILL BE COMPLETED SOON.

A DITCH 100 TO $50 FEET WIDE
WILL BE COMPLETED SOON.
The Board of Managers OF the Trades
League, of Philadelphia, spent the
greater portion of another session last
night In discussing the report OF the
Committee on Harbor and Navigation,
fayoring the placing of all dredged ma
terial from the Delaware river at
Cherry Island on shore or behind
dikes. and ultimately sent It back to
the committee for new report at the
next meeting. Major Raymond, the
United States engineer In charge OF the
work. had been invited to be present
but in a letter declining the invitation
he called attention to the fact that the
plans under which the river work was
being done were the plans Of the War
Department, approved by all the high
officials Of the engineer corps, and that
1t would be improper for him, a mere
subordinate, TO publicly discuss the ac-
tions of his superiors.
Though the work Of dredging at
Cherry Island began only ten days ago,
the contractors have made very appre-
ciable progress II Is intended that
10000 to 100000 cubic yards shall be
dredged before the close of the season,
and this will open up a ditch through
the flats 100 to 150 feet in width.
