Potatoes-A review of the 1918 crop
and movement by the bureau of mar
kets places the 1918 crop at 400, 100000
bushels, as compared with 442,10S,00O
bushels in 1917, yet shipments to-
March II, 1919, of 141,739 cars are re-
ported, as compared with 100, 407 cars
shipped to March IA last year. The
heavier shipping movement in spite OF
smaller crop is due to much larger
percentage of merchantable stock in
the last crop and also to the fact that
there has been practically no frost
damage this season, either in pits or
in transit, whereas the previous crop
was hit both by late blight and frost
damage. Local markets are easy and
