Reports from Greeley indicate badly
demoralized spud market, many farmers
being compelled to sell at 25 cents per
100 pounds. There are many growers,
however, who absolutely refuse to sell at
a 25-cent figure, and are holding on for
late spring market, when better prices
are likely to prevail. 1t is believed that
when the farmers who are obliged to sell
have disposed of their potatoes the price
will advance in order to secure those
held in storage. The freezing of the
young potato plants in the south lately
is factor in favor of an advance in price
on the potatoes now on hand, which
must take the place Of the usually early
southern crop. As in previous years the
lack Of transportation is a great draw
back in moving the potato crop.
