POTATOES UP
IN LOCAL FIELD

The local potato market is much
stronger today with sales of choice
neld run Ohios reported at from SL05
20 Sl'iO sacked. The bulk price is a
| dime lower, 80 cents to 81.
Improvement in the car situation is
noted and limited number of cars
now available for loading to desired
destination
run bulk and but few sales are re-
ported below that figure
ConIlicting reports are received as
TO held frost but the general opinion
Is that only exposed potatoes or those
lying very close to the surface were
damaged by the Sunday night freeze.
The following information is from
the bulletin issued today from the
Morohead station of the bureau of
markets of the United States depart
ment OF agriculture:
