SCARCITY OF POTATOES
EXISTS IN THE EAST.
Eject ON Local Market Causes Quota-
ti0ns to Remain High on the
Preferred Stock.

Potatoes have been reasonable in price
this season. but at present do not show any
tendency to get cheaper. Early in the sea.
son spectators made an effort to bear
the market by circulating reports that the
crop was very large and low prices would
prevail. For awhile they were successful
and low prices prevailed in the early fa1
but numerous others took advantage
these prices and the spectators could NOT
get the potatoes at the price they desired.
The wet weather In the early falI
and the latter part of the summer cut short
the yield in many large potato growing
sections. especially In Michigan and New
York. The East being short, large de-
mands were made on the Central and West
ern States. The supply is now coming from
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The
Maine and Eastern State crop is not heavy
and consists principally of varieties suitable
for early seed trade. mostly red-skinned
kinds The available supply of white-skinned
potatoes for table use Is scarce.
This makes a heavy demand on the North
west for the best sorts of white eating po-
tatoes. and in consequence prices are higher
and firm for these varieties.
E. p. Teasdale Of Miller & Teasdale COM
mission merchants. said: ''The cold weather
which now prevails at all shipping points,
puts the potato business in the hands Of the
large shippers. who are able to care for the
stock. in transit This strengthens and
steadies the market"

Doctor Theodor Lewald. Imperial Ger
man Commissioner, has already indicated
in his official communication to Director of
Works Taylor, regarding the subject of a
site for the German building at the World 3
Fair, that tine plan now in contemplation
is the erection of castellated structure Of
the architectural order OF the Rhenish
manors.
Beyond this mere hint Of what may be
expected from the German Government, the
Commissioner has not ventured. That the
building is now being considered by Doctor
Lewald Is apparent from the visit yester-
day to the Administration building of the
Commissioner. Mr.. Yaekel. his secretary
and Bruno Moehring. the German architect
The party consulted with the Director of
Works on the question of harmonizing the
building with surrounding architecture.
Director Taylor has already said that the
placing of an old Rhine castle on the sum-
NIT of the hill to the east of the Cascade
Gardens and overlooking the Exposition pal
aces will add to the appearance of the hill
side and balance the picture of the cas-
cades nicely on the east. The Tyrolean
Alps and Jerusalem will hold the western
side of the Cascade Gardens.
