Tacoma predicted advance in
potato prices came sooner than expect
ed, the vegetable this week going to
$35 a ton. Dealers say prices will go
still farther upward and will in all
probability reach $40 within the next
few days. Dealers explain that other
rises are certain because the holders in
Eastern Washington are demanding $50
ton for the tubers in the field. At
that price it costs commission men
here $33 to lay ton down and they
cannot sell with reasonable profit at
$35, they say. The supplies in East
ern Washington are now pretty well
cleaned up, it is reported.
Local potato growers have become
active again and are planting many
times more spuds than they did last
year. The local crop will not make its
appearance until about the first of
July.
