SPUD MARKET IS
STILL STRONG
Red Rivers Sold At Kan
sas City For Storage
at $1.55 And SLIGO

The potato market continues firm
for good stock and buyers swapping
up every carload offered. Field run
Ohios are bringing from S1.10 to l.15
bulk and No. 1 from $1.20 to $1.25.
Sacked stock is quoted at 10 cents a
busheI higher.
There have been several sales made
for later delivery and the prices are a
trifle higher than for immediate de-
livery. Difficulty In securing cars, es-
pecially freezers, has had a tendency
to slow down the movement from val
ley points. But few carloads have
been shipped out of GAINESVILLE and
Hawley while the surplus stock at
points on the. Moorhead Northern has
practically all been sold.
Kansas City reports today the sale
of two carloads of Red Rivers for
storage at $1.55 and s1.60.
Following is news of the market
taken from the bulletin issued at
the bureau of markets of the United
States department of agriculture:
