SEATTLE. March g.. II is Cs; mated that there are between l25 anu 150 carloads of potatoes in storage here, and less than 100 cars in the entire Yakima valley. California and Chicago spectators who were never before rn this market, are holding approximately 100 carloads of Puget Sound pot2toes.
 It is not believed that there are more than twenty cars of Yakima Gems On this side of the mountains. Bid prices for Gems run from $7O tn $l5 with selling prices at ESQ to SS5 and majority of the regular lObbing houses are buying short. content to have enough to fill current orders without attempting to anticipate the future. Puget Sound potatoes are sell ing at $75 with quotations to iobbers of $60 to $75. Brokers who endeav- ored today to buy some Of these pota- toes in storage met with Hat refusal hy holders to quote. Predictions oi $1OO to $125 per ton for Yakima Gems are heard.
