FARMERS jNION
POTATO MARKET
Farmers Union Distributing Co.,
boston. Mass, Dec. 4th, 1Sl5


boston, Mass, Dec. 4th, 1915.
There is a decided Improvement in the
potato market over last week. The sup
ply a Charlestown has cleaned up SO
that holdings are not heavy. Considera-
bic shipping is being done in 10 peck
sacks to the South, and New York is
buying more freely than at any time this
season.
The price in the yards at Charlestown
has advanced from sl.So-S1.S5 per two
bushel bag, the bulk price being SSc.-S0c.
for strictly choice stock. The demand for
seconds is increasing, the price today be-
ing from 55c.-G3c. per bushel; but very
few cars being sold for New England
points. With demand from New York
and the South we look for better prices
than have obtained for the past few
weeks.
We can naturally look for lull in the
potato market from the - inst, until
after the holidays. and think you would
be exercising good judgment not to crowd
the market too much at the present time.
Dealers in the outside towns are buying
sparlngly and will not take on any Dig
lots until after the holidays.
When you have anything to offer please
make Your offerings as early in the
morning as possible as it will give US
more time to secure orders for you than
If you make them later in the day.
Kindly answer all kilograms promptly by
either accepting or rejecting all BIDS SUB
mittcG 20 YOU. There is nothing hCrts -"
much as 10 let a telegram so unanswered.
We had rather you would answer at oar
expense than rot 70 answer at all.
Yours truly.
