Seattle-The scarcest staple on the
street, and the one in greatest de-
mand, Is the extra fancy Yakima Gem,
for which 500 and even more viii be
paid. There are many potatoes Of the
second grade, and Of commissaries,
which sell at s25. but the bulk moves
on the quality basis at $3.50 ton lots
and $1S for less than ton lots. The
shortage has been so continuous that
jobbers are convinced farmers have
pitted their offerings and are holding
for higher prices. Should the market
show as little Of this stock for the
next week or ten days, growers will
get what they are looking for. Only a
few White rivers are being offered,
and the street has long since become
reconciled to the fact that holders are
speculating.
The apple trade is steady, but com
paratively the movement is good.
There are a few Jonathans, for which
the street gets 75c1$1. Probably the
bulk of the demand is on Delicious and
Spitzenbergs at $1@1.25. Sixty-foura
on Delicious bring up to $1.50, al
though only few particular buyers
will pay so much. Cooking stock ID
selling at 50c.
