FACE POTATO SHORTAGE.
Walla Walla Has Gloomy Reports on
Visible Supply.
Walla Walla, Jan. 21. Walla Walla
faces a potato famine within a short
time if the present cold weather con
tinues, according to reports of local
wholesale produce men this morninjr.
The price has been rising steadily
during the past week, and present in
dications are for further movements
upward.
.Potatoes are being wholesaled today
at $1.35 ner cwt. or $25 ver ton, but
wholesale men say that they may be
forced to quote higher prices at any
time. So far the grocers have main
tained a price of $1.50 per cwt retail,
but it is probable a few more days
will see 1his price advanced to $1.75.
The retail price has (risen from $1.00
to $1.60 during the past two weeks,
and produce men say they would not
be surprised if the price would go
over $2.00 retail within-the next two
weeks.
Potato shortage in the middle west
and south and difficult transportation
due to the cold weaher are given as
the causes of the increase in price.
The middle west and south have
looked to the northwest this year to
supply their potatoes, and largo
quantities have been shipped to thoso
localities during the fall and winter.
The Yakima valley and he Willam
ette valley 'have been called upon
largely to supply the demand.
The local situation is complicated
by the fact that there was an unusu
ally short crop here this year. Local
wholesalers report that the entire
Walla Walla crop is practically gone,
and that thev have been importing
from North Yakima and Portland for
the past two months. Practically no
potatoes have been stored in pits, they
say.
lieports from North Yakima today
state that not over 3500 tons of po
tatoes are unmarketed, and that ship
ments are bcin.T made constantly r
Chicago, Los Angeles, Texas and oth
that it takes over 1000 tons to supply
the Seattle market alone for one
month it is seen how great the" short
age may bo. Potatoes are now going
at $25 per ton wholesale in North
Yakima, and indications are for u
rine.
