in Asparagus-Eges and
Butter Firm

This is one explanation for the dullness in
the potato market north and south: "Sacra-
mento adviees state that present indications
are that Early Rose potatoes Will be beg
ging for buyers before long, and possibly
10,000 sacks will never be placed on the
market. Tho hurried coming of spring has
brought out the fact that too many growers
were saving their own Early Rose for seed
and the jobbers who hoped to sell seed po-
tatoes have on their hands many sacks
they VIII likely not be able to get rid Of.

can tomatoes are now quoted at $2.25 a
