Potato Market

While there is a good demand and
buyers are offering from &1.2O to $3.50
fore sacked stock, growers are not
selling and the movement is very
slow. Growers can sell at field run
bulk stock at $1.10 at the warehouses
in wagonloads, but are not hauling.
They evidently prefer taking chances
Of a freeze that viii cause heavy loss
to unprotected stocks that are stored
in barns and sheds.
The car shortage has also been a
cause of delay as freezers have not
been available at many points for
loading, to desired destination.
