'SPUD" FAMINE IMMINENT
With Prices at Two Dollars a
Bushel Dealers Begin TO
Feel Apprehenslve
Special to the Daily Leader.

Houston rex June 27-Produce
dealers are beginning to feel some
apprehension in regard to the potato
situation, since potato famine in
thls market oppears TO be a certainty
The price has been steadily adyanc-
Ing, rising from 60 to roc at the be-
ginning OF the season to S1.00 and
then $1.25 per bushel, with another
Jump this week to $3.50 and SLIGO
Eet bushel paid to the growers I. 0. o.
loading point Buyers from Northern
markets have invaded the producing
sections and are buying up every
tGlng they can lay their hands on at
these prices and shipping them North,
and local buyers are having to hustle
to get enough to supply the demands
|of this market. Predictions are being
freely made that this market will see
potatoes at $500 per bushel ana that
very soon There is always a strong
demand for potatoes and they must
bo mad at any price.
California potatoes are coming IN
NOW. Before the Western crop began
ito move California buyers were in
the territory buying at much lower
figures than are now prevailing. Now
California growers are holding their
prices firm at $500 per bushel The
shortage IN the potato crop in the
North last year caused the supply 10
be exhausted from that source earlier
tms year than ordinarily. The North,
efn crop is reported IN very fair
condition, but is not moving TO any
extent yet, and in the meantime there
seems no other way out Of 1t but TO
pay $500 per busiel for potatoes till
another source of supply is opened
A few carloads are heing shipped
into this market daily and are being
sold out as fast as they arrive. The
short crop caused by the heavy rains
this spring is responsible for the
early exhaustion of Texas stocks.

st. Joseph Will Not

Missourians from Northern Part
Have Let Chance Slip, but St.
Louis May Win.

st. Joseph will not get the 1911 exposition
OF the National Horticultural congress.
That has been definitely decided. The
hackers Of the movement to hold the con
vention there failed to make the financial
showing necessary, and the last proposition
received from them was Of such charac-
ter that II eliminated them altogether from
further consideration.
The contest is now between Minneapolis,
st. Paul and st. Louis, with New Orleans
arousing herself from the temporary leth-
argy due to the stunning blow administered
by congress when San Francisco was
chosen as the site for the Panama expo
stion and the southern city may yet be-
come an aggressive bidder for the big ma
tional fruit show.
The basis upon which the cities are bid
ding for the show is the percentage Of the
receipts to be given the congress to defray
the expenses OF those and previous expo
sitions. st. Joseph was given the oppor-
tunity 10 take the exposition by giving %
per cent Of the gate receipts, but dallied
long and finally made a less satisfactory
bid
St. Louis has offered to provide the ex-
position building and pay all of the expo
stion week expenses including music and
other attractions on the program. leaving
for the congress only the cost OF the pre-
NUNS This Is even better than the per-
centage Offered by the Minnesota towns.
The exposition officers are in no hurry to
close the negotiations and the place for
holding the next big show may not be de-
cided upon until May.
