In consequence OF the 13cC CnaC lar
mers are taking advantage of the IA
vorable weather to get their potatoes
out Of the ground the local market is
slow-only a few wagonloads coming
to the warehouses daily There is very
little demand from outside points and
consequently shipments are light. :.
On an average, with the exception
of Ohios, potatoes reaching the ware
houses are of very good quality-far
better than was expected at the Begin
ming Of the season-and the yield is
greater than previously estimated for
this territory. -.
Quotations are somewhat lower than
those published in the Union last week,
white stock ranging from .$1.25 to
$3.50 per cwt., and red stock from
$1.10 to $1.20. There are now about a
dozen buyers on the Princeton market
and this number will be largely in
creased as the season advances.
Here are some figures from the re-
port Of the United States department
of agriculture which should prove of
interest:
The average crop, including the esti-
mate for this year, since 1912 has
been about s6s,ooo,ooo bushels.
This years crop, then, is apparently
about IL to Is per cent below this
average and about rs per cent be-
low the normal yield. The 10
principal northern states-Maine,
New York, Pennsylvania, Minnesota,
Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado,
IDAHO, Washington and Oregon have
an estimated crop of 1876, $4,000 BUSH
els this year compared with 258, $685.
600 bushels last year. Other states
furnish some late potatoes, but these
are the principal ones, hence, accord
ing to the September estimate, there
will be "a shortage of 81, 949 900 BUSH
els in these Is states. .:
1t is estimated that from the eight
states Of Maine, New York, Michigan,
wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Ida
no and Washington there will be co.
GOA cars of potatoes shipped this year
compared with 110,680 cars shipped
in 1920 and 97,688 for the fiye-year
average 1915 to 1920 inclusive. Ac-
cording to these figures the CONNER
cial crop in these eight states TO-
O78 cars below last year, but only
1902 cars below the average for the
five-year period, 1916 to 1920 inclusive.
