Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables

An easy feeling continued to prevail in the
Potato market due largely to the recent heavy
arrivals of Oregon Burbanks Most buyers
were anticipating further declines and were
for immediate requirements. kilograms from
the north say that the steamer oregon, due To-
morrow will bring nearly 10000 sacks Trade
in river Burbanks was quiet, but as supplies
were controlled by few dealers prices were
unchanged No fresh Sweets came in, but a
car was reported close at hand and due at any
time Onions frmer under continued light
receipts Fine stock sold direct from the car
at the inside rate, while the top quotation was
readily obtained for small lots at the stores

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-Trading on a mammoth

A remarkably broad market in corn devel-
oped almost at the very opening. The keynote
apparently was sounded when the representa-
tive of the interest that is supposed to be long
on May wheat began to buy May corn. Large
The advance resulting in prices for corn was
not lacking in celerity. 1t was estimated that

at 91Ac. The market dragged for a time
