Potato Market

There is but little life in the local
potato market, but the tendency is
for lower prices with very few sales.
The Minneapolis market is reported
overstocked. Frosted and immature
stock, now on the market, has had a
depressing effect, especially in Chi
cago.
Following is news of the market
taken from the bulletin issued at
the bureau of markets of the United
States:
