HOLDINGS IN POTATOES
TOTAL MILLION BUSHELS
E. Percy Miller, Chicago Commits
sion Merchant, Admits He Con-
trolls Quantity of Tubers.

CHICAGO, March 10.-While food in
vestigators were endeavoring to verify
rumors that a million bushels of pota-
toes are in storage at Blue Island, a
suburb, +. Percy Miller. a commission
merchant, admitted that he controls
100000 bushels in different sections
Of the country. Fifty cars of his hold
ings, he said. are at Blue Island. His
total holdings he estimated at approxi-
mately 1900 cars.
Mr.. Miller added that he is probably
the largest holder of potatoes in the
country. and that it is not unusual for
him to control so many He said he is
not in control of the potato market, and
he denied there was a corner in the veg
etable. No potatoes have been destroy
ed willfully to create a shortage, ac-
cording to Mr.. Miller, but many that
have been frozen otherwise SnOiled
while in storage have been DESTROYED.
The amount of potatoes in Wiscon-
SIM Michigan and Minnesota is probably
not one-fourth or one-fifth of what it
was last year" he said. We shall be
glad to show our records showing what
we have spent to obtain refrigerator
cars for shipments from Washington
Growers have not held back supplies
and the railroads universally pressed
for cars. While it is true the high
prices are due in part to difficulty in
getting the product to market. it is not
the fault of the carriers. There are a
number of contributory causes to the
high prices"
