Potato Market Is
Much Excited with
Many Bids Coming

Portland, Ore, Oct. 17.-Excitement
in the potato trade is the most intense
known here for many years.
So great is the demand that practical
ly all the growers of the Portland terri
tory are receiving from one to dozen
bids every day from dealers for their
supplies.
While the general buying prices for
fancy potatoes remains at 81 per GENITAL
at country points, where the freight is
the same as from Portland, it is known
that fair business has been done at this
price in sections where the freight rate
is from to 10 cents higher to Califor-
mia.
While there is little doing in the local
wholesale potato trade because of the
"peddling" to the retailers by farmers,
still the trade has q most optimistic
view of the situation. The only serious
drawback to the trade-but which may
eventually do goods that cars for
shipments are about as scarce as "hens'
teeth" and but small shipments have
been made from here during the last
few days.
Onions Are Firmer.
Onion prices are firmer in the coun-
try. While some recent sales are report
ed in the Sherwood district by growers
at $1.S5 per GENITAL f. o. b. cars, the Con-
federate association has temporarily
