Potatoes, Onions and Vegetable.

With shipping business about over and re-
ceipts running large, the potato market was de-
cidedly easy and the outside quotations for both
Salinas and river Burbanks were obtained only
for small pafcels of favored brands. Nearly all
first hand dealers were overstocked and stood
willing to shade the quotations to large buyers.
New arrivals Of sweets were held at higher
prices and met with a fair sale. Onions re-
mained weak at the recent decline.
There was not much change in prices for vege-
tables. Fine green corn was wanted and sold
up to $2.35 a sack and $3.50 a crate, but of
stock, which formed large percentage Of the
receipts, was hard to move at any price. To
matoes continued to arrive in excessive quanti-
ties and there were no established prices for
general offerings. Peppers and cucumbers were
about the most plentiful and weakest Of the
other vegetables.

be working for higher market The initial
ginners' report next Tuesday is expected TO
make a bearish showing. We think we can
only look for scalping market until after the
holidays.
Spinners' takings of American cotton for the
just closed were IL, 500, 600 bales besides
which they reduced their reserves to a mini
mum. This bespeaks much larger consumption
for this season. The visible supply of cotton in
the worlds main centers is only 27 per
cent lower than IN 1907 Last year at the end
Of August there were :, 2,311, ,093 bales reported
against 1854, SOP this year. This rate OF de-
crease applies TO American cotton well as
TO the general worlds supply. This is not
large shortage when the backwardness of mill
consumption during the last year is taken into
account.
Spot closed quiet; middling uplands 9.3oc;
middling gulf, 9.55c. No sales.
