The Potato Market.

Favorable weather conditions were
the rule last week, both for the ma.
turing of the late crop and the dig.
ding and marketing of early potatoes.
:; The northwest is being called upon
for heavy supplies, and the early
production is being disposed Of as
fast as offered. Paying prices in
Twin City territory last week aver.
aged from $105 per bushel to SLIP,
altho some, good volume was moved
on Monday and Tuesday above $1.25
per bushel. These prices have been
for field marketings in bulk, but the
quality is running very good.
A compilation is being made of the
surplus production likely to be shown
in districts outside of regular potato
growing territory, and when figured
in carlots the surplus is likely to be
lighter than was expected earlier in
the season. Nevertheless, it is ad
mitted that there will be a very large
crop to be marketed, but the pros
poets are good for an outlet that will
absorb the surplus. There is still
much uncertainty as to what the
range will be on values, but many
growers have expressed the opinion
that if so cents per bushel could be
assured to the growers, which ap
pears to be likely, the individual
grower and the state will be we'll re
paid for the unusual effort to produce
the largest crop ever known.
a hearty cooperation is shown al
over the state by carlot distributors
in the effort to distribute the years
crop to the best advantage of the
whole people, the railroads have
shown a favorable disposition il
making it possible to move them rap
idly, and the producer and shipper il
assured Of square deal if he use:
