RAY YOUNG IS HAVING riiirTiucUnmrpTiiin iniLiinuirtnifLOiiiiu mu What to do with the fairly liberal storks of old potatoes that remain is a problem that commission men sr. trying to fathom. It hits been found lmosslblo to sell the stock recently, nnd almost every dny adds to the volume of offering. While 2.'.c a cental was offered about a week ago for small supply, handlers did not believe that this price was suf ficient, therefore refused to sell. The result I that no other offer huvo been received for the tubers, and they are taking up valuable "room In the wholesale house, beside being the cause of friction between shippers nd receivers. The former seem to be of the opinion that the commission men are not try ing to sell them, while the latter are worrying themselves because of their Inability to please the shipper.
