POTATO MARKET SLOW
Local Warehouse Has 1900
Bushels-Farmers Holding
on to Crop-Faster Move
ment Expected.

From the Chicago trade bull
Ietins the movement in the pota-
m crop still seems to be extreme
" slow. The crop reports show
the figures this year as being of
bumper proportions-the largest
since 1904, but locally the crop
IS not as good. Many potatoes
have been raised but on an in
creased acreage as compared
with the crop of 1911. The crop
was not even in its yield this fall,
MANY acres of potatoes proving
hardly worth digging and many
others showing up in bountiful
Weld. Local production however
has no effect on the potato mar
ket. The market is a national
one unaffected by localities the
size of Eagle River.
According to potato buyers
there seems to be no bottom to
potato prices and little promise
of a slight increase as the winter
advances. Local growers are re
Iuctant to let their crop go. at
prevailing prices, consequently
not many more than Z thousand
bushels are in the Stark Co.'S
warehouse at this place.
Yesterdays trade bulletin gives
little advance over former
prices. It quotes:
