not unreasonable to expect will be

consists the value Of repeating over

inadequacy Of shipping facilities

declared this was no better in one
respect than it was thirty years ago.

POTATO NOTES

Houlton, Jan. z0.-1t is expected
that the potato market will go high in
the next few weeks. Already comes
the announcement from farmers that
before many days the price will reach
SO per barrel. Aroostook county
farmers who have not sold will prob
ably hold on to some Of their crop
for the extra high prices should they
come. Owing to the lack Of heater
cars the market cannot be rushed
and there will probably be a steady
stream Of stock rolling for the COM
ing three months.
