Some varieties of potatoes lose more
in weight while in storage than 9th
ers. These losses are influenced by
the temperature and amount of mois-
ture in the air. The higher tempera
ture increases the loss. while the
higher moisture content diminishes 1t.
About seventy-tive per cent. Of the loss
of weight in storage is due to the es-
cape OF moisture and to overcome this
put tubs in the dugout and keep them
filled with water. 1t is advisable to
store potatoes In dark dugout, be-
cause light tends to increase the
sweating OF the tubers and to stimu-
late certain changes In composition.

THE COAL PRODUCING STATES.
Colorado Holds Place in Production Of
Black Diamonds.

oidCN OIdTnOHOS.
The most important change In the
order OF the coal-producing states re-
sulting from conditions which existed
In 1906 was the replacement of Illinois
by west Virginia as the second state
In rank. For several years the pro-
ductlon of West Virginia has been
creeping up on that of Illinois. and in
l9O6 the state took the position held
by Illinois since 1876. Under ordinary
conditions this displacement would
have occurred within a year or two at
any rate, but It was possibly fastened
by the suspension of mining In the
spring of 1906 in those states where
the mine workers are organized. 1t
1s true that, Notwithstanding the al.
most complete shutdown OF the ILL
nois mines for period of about
eleven weeks, that state exhibited n
normal increase over 1906, and 1t is
claimed that the production would not
have been any larger had there been
no interruption to mining operations;
but it is also true that during the shut.
down in the other states mining in
West Virginia was exceptionally active,
and in addition to the increased pro-
duction at the operating mines. new
territory was opened up and much new
development work was started. AS a
result of these conditions West Vir-
ginia in 1906 made larger increase in
production, than any other state, and
took second place. In view of the de.
velopments made in progress it is not
likely that West Virginia will be sup
planted by any other state.
The only other changes in rank
among the ten leading states was the
resumption of fifth place by Alabama
which had been supplanted in 1905 by
Indiana (now siXth, and the supplant
ing of Kansas by Tennessee as the
tenth state in the amount of produc
duction.
The record for 1906 shows that Penn
sylvania's output has once more fallen
below so per cent. of the total produc'
ton of the United States. In the com.
bined production of anthracite and BIZ
luminous coal. Pennsylvania as re-
Gently as 1880 was credited with two
thirds of the total coal output of the
country, but the proportion produced
in that state has been gradually de-
clining, and in four of the last five
years the percentage has been less
than so. In 1906 Pennsylvania pro
duced asa per cent of the total, l7.2
per cent. being represented by the an
thracite and 312 per cent. by the btu
minous production. OF the other i'm
portant states. West Virginia con
tributed 105 per cent, Illinois 10 per
cent, Ohio 6.7 per cent, Alabama 81
per cent, and Indiana 20 per cent.
The states rank as follows at the
close of 1906:

Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO June 3-Liquidation of July wheat
caused the market to ease off slightly today. At
the close July wheat was down as @1sc, corn was
A@ssc higher, oats were up ssc and provisions
were unchanged to TIC lower
The market opened today with easier prices
because OF better weather conditions In the
west and northwest, lower cables and worlds
shipments were larger than expected. Later
prices recovered on reports from Kansas that the
freeze of week ago had done much damage.
The bulk Of these reports stated that the injury
to the crop had been from 40 to so per cent.
The report of crop expert estimated the yield
of wheat at 1T6.00o.o0o bushels below the
amount named in his last statements causing
rally about the middle OF the day. good
export demand was also reported and this added
strength to the market. Later. however, the
trading became dull and the influences which
were in effect at the opening resumed their
sway. Much wheat was 1iquidated during the
early break on stop loss orders
The close was easy. July opened B@Tc

opened Ac lower at $3.50. sold between 531c

ceipts $40 cars
The weather conditions which softened the
market for wheat and corn also affected oats
1t was reported later that the green bug'' had
been discovered In various places throughout the
state, and this with fair buying demand stiff-
ened the market July oats opened &c lower at

firm ut 1850. Local receipts were 81 cars.
The provision market opened easier, lard espe-
cially being weak because of official statements
