the POTATO MARKET
Number Of Buyers Con-
Quoting Ware Houses
for.Tubers

The marketing Of the present years
crop Of potatoes has commenced in
earnest and several buyers are han
ding them in this city this fall. Several
thousand bushels have already been
purchased and more are coming in
daily. The tubers are of fine quality,
being large and solid for the most
part. and have been commanding a
price of from thirty.five to thirty
seven cents per bushel although the
local price was less short time ago.
They are being brought in to a great
extent from east and west of here.
Outside buyers shipped three carloads,
$500 to 600 bushels to the cary Of the
potatoes to Minneapolis Monday and
Tuesday, T. H. Dewey is again this
year heavy buyer and Dr.. ]. H. New
man and 3. Burton are aiding IN
keeping up the market here, having
purchased several hundred bushels of
the tubers. The latter are using the
Merchants elevator for their storage
while the parties from Minneapolis
have their warehouse on the old main
line.
DR.. Newman states that he was led
to 90 into the potato buying business
by the low prices that the farmers were
getting for their tubers compared to
other places that did not have the ad.
vantagas of this point. From 30 cents
q bushel the market was boosted to 81
and 81 cents, an extra FIVE cents pc,
bushel that the potato grower can make
good use of.
It is stated that between go and 6:
car loads of potatoes have been shipped
out from Ft. Ripley this fall. Morri
son county certainly had a good crol
OF the tubers this year and the raisers
should be entitled to top prices. One
man put in forty acres IN potatoes and
an added five cents q bushel means
considerable to him.
