kansas are asking so cents per busheI in
sacks on board the cars at Fort Smith
and other loading stations At these
prices much of the trade find old potatoes
more profitable than new, and have not
been willing to turn their attention to
new until they were either not able to
get old. or the prices of new ones were
lower.
Michigan holds the key to the situation
now. If shippers of potatoes in AIichi-
gan are not able to load and ship fast
enough to supply the demand will
yet experience further advances in old
potatoes. Wisconsin can furnish but a
limited portion of the supply wanted. The
supply in Minnesota is almost exhausted
now, and all handlers of potatoes look to
Michigan the principal source of sup
ply. Michigan shippers claim that they
are not able to load and ship.
