Potato Market

There is an upward tendency in the
local market with carload prices to
growers for sacked stock from S1:15
to $1.25. Several sales by jobbers at
from $3.50 to $1.35 are reported. With
warmer weather, the condition OF the
roads Will improve and farmers will
be able to market stock that they
could not haul while the roads were
rough and practically impossible.
Following is news of the market
taken from the bulletin issued al
