NEW YORK SUN REVIEW.

day said:
The conflict of elements that oper.
ate to influence the course of the Sc.
curities market was quite pronounced
today and served to neutralize to 8
large extent the diverse tendencies
which manifested themselves from time
to time throughout the session.
Coincident with the presidents ex-
ecutive order calling an extra session
Of congress on April 2, fortnight
earlier than had been planned, came
renewed reports from abroad that
Germany was again sounding the al
lies with respect to peace negotiations
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
the stock market backed and filled re-
peatedly, at intervals forging ahead
in almost feverish trading, again hest
tant and yielding. The advance of the
date of the extra session of congress
was somewhat stimulating on the
general list, presumably on the theory
that the legislators would declare war
and that that would mean increasing
industrial expansion.
The motor and sugar shares were
heavy. The shipping issues moved for
ward to substantial gains. The steel
stocks responded in somewhat erratic
fashion to the United States Steel re-
port, but held to the upward side for
the most part.
Trading continued brisk to the close,
the total turnover again exceeding a
million shares.

POTATO SITUATION

Fight Being Made on De-
partment Declared to Be
Instituted by Speculative
Buyers Who Have Been

W. q. Scholtz, farm markets direc-
tor, Is out with a statement that the
work of that department has not in
any way been responsible for the pres
emit high cost of living in Idaho, al
though through the efforts of the bu-
reau, farmers have secured better
prices for their products. He makes
this statement because of the fight
now being made on the department
and cites the potato situation in the
state. His statement of the market
affairs is as follows:
Through control Of some OF the
papers over the state, the interests
fighting this office have so persistently
attempted to make 1t appear to the
general consuming public that the
high price of foodstuffs in Idaho was
the result of the millions of dollars in
extra prices I had secured for the
growers the past year, that I desire to
clarity the public mind before these

, whatever about the marketing situaL-
ton in Idaho knows that the price the
great mass OF the farmers get for
their produce from the big speculative
buyers has nothing whatever to do
with the price the ultimate consumer
pays. Take the potato crop, for in
stance: During February those who
had any potatoes in storage were able
to get from 81 to $3.50 per hundred
pounds on board cars for shipment to
the eastern markets, and many car
loads were sold at those figures. Some
folks undoubtedly got the impression
from these prices that the growers
were getting the benefit. But let us
see. The growers of southern
Idaho last season raised for
shipment over six thousand carloads
Of potatoes. Four-fifths of this crop
however, was sold in the fall at less
than 50 per hundred. During Febru-
airy when the prices went out of sight
it would be found. when we made
survey. that there were only about
five hundred carloads in the hands of
growers or their agents. A far
greater quantity than this five hun
bred cars was, OF course, still in stor-
age, but in the hands Of the big oper-
ators-not the farmers.
ROBBED BY sPEcuLAToRs.
''The big outside speculative buyers
which have for many years so shame
fully robbed our growers, made siren
uous efforts to mislead the farmers in
the potato growing districts to let go
of their crop last fall at rs cents per
hundred. II their misrepresentation
of market conditions Lad not been eX-
posed, and they had succeeded in get
ting the bulk of the tonnage at 20
cents per hundred, Is there a person
in Idaho SO stupid as to believe that
the consumers would have gotten their
seasons supply of spuds any cheaper!
The history of every season of the past
shows the folly of such a conclusion.
What is true Of potatoes is equal
ly true of other farm products. II
have simply cited potatoes as an ex~
ample as this crop happens to be up
permost in the public discussion ut
present.
Those who are attempting to create
prejudice against my efforts in be-
half of the growers, by circulating the
statement that my work has in any
way been a factor in increasing the
cost Of food products to Idaho con-
sumers, know that their assertions
are groundless and will not bear in
The interests which have been |
preying on both producers and con-
sumers are however in desperate |
straits. They realize my work is laying |
he foundation for a movement to stop |
heir unfair profits. They know am
determined to cut out speculation and |
graft in the distribution of farm pro-
1ucts. They realize that during the
