ing neither excessively large, as was
the case a year ago, nor abnormally
small, as was the case two years ago.
In the important potato sections of
the northern and northeastern states,
the amount remaining to be marketed
on January ] was probably slightly
less than average: in the southern
states and the far western states, par
ticularly Idaho and Washington, re-
naming stocks appear to be somewhat
larger than in an average year, though
less than holdings a year ago. Lo-
cally there is little excitement, price
Holding steady at Sl.25. Sweets lower
at $4@475.
Onions-ln general, the onion move
ment has been of larger volume and
at lower prices than for the early part

impaired a firmer tone to the situa
ton. While western onions have been
comparatively inactive, prices are
slightly firmer under increasing scare
ity, local quotations being up to $2.5C
