bing at s5.75 a box.
Potato receipts were light Reports from
tho north were to the effect that the mar
ket Is strong. Handlers of carload lots
are getting the same price for their pota-
toes that they got at the opening of the
week and jobbers have not reduced their
prices to the trade. Advices, however, from
Texas and other western states, where the
northern shippers have been shipping freely
are to the effect that Colorado growers are
beginning to furnish potatoes at price
lower than potatoes have been SOLD for l. o.
b. river this season. To compete with the
Colorado shipper northern operators Will be
compelled to lower their prices or cease
shipping to these points entirely. IN Whlcn q,
case a larger amount of potatoes would be
diverted to this market and any increase
here in receipts over the average of the
last week will send prices down.
Fish in fair supply.
