POTATO MARKET IS AT LOW EBB The demorlllsatlon of the potato trade la complete at all I'acino coast IKiluts. While Mwlr Is a limited sale here tor sIova, business Is entirely at a atuiidstlll at both Los Angeles aud San Kranclaco, Oregon potatoes are not wanted there nl the present tlmu at any price. This much I made plain to local shippers by their representa tives in the south. So heavy are the supplies of river potatoes In California that there I at preseut no Indication that any Dra gon stock will be needed until, per bapa the tall end of the season. An advice from San Kranclaco to a t'urtluud shipper says there's nothing doing In the tradu there, the situation being Just as dull as before. Ten cars of garuet are reported on the track there unsold and It looks aa If some of the dealers will be stuck badly on tulli'lid offerings. There is absolute ly no demand In San Kranclsco for Oregon potatoes at the present time. Tim Hs'i Krnnclsco writer spent three iIids on the river snd canuot see how the market cull use all the offer ings. Ho purchased a supply of raucy stock at 'Si l-'.'c a suck on the river bunk. ' Ilegarilug the onion situation the writer saj-s that there are lot of good onion on the river and If the weather runiulus clear he hulloves there will be enough stock to tide the trade over for one or two month. He cannot possibly eo how any ma terial demand for Oregon onion will develop before Kebruary i at leaat. Another dealer at Im Angele write that the market I Juat a poor ii previously reported. There have been no rains and therefore no de mand ha appeared for early roe, which are nominally quoted. In Ihi lxi Angeles market fancy burbanks from the homo territory are selling so low that there la absolutely no demand for Oregon offerings. In the 1'ortland market the potato trade Is quiet. Fancy stock I lulling from (l& to 7nc s ack, about lis pounds, and there Is so nominal a call for ordinary offerings that no ac curate aiioiullou can be obtained.
