LOCAL EVENTS. Potatoes. E. Rose, representing A. II. Henry & Oo. of 8an Francisco, was in the city during the pant week Voicing up shipments of patatnes to that place. Ho says potatoes are worth from 80 to 85 cents in Frisco. Freight from Port land is 17 cents per 100 pounds on the Hteamers. If you were Bure of getting t ie price stated it would pay to ship. Some time since, when the price of potatoes was down to 20 or 25 cents per sack, very few came to the Portland market, and it was supposed that the stock in the hands of growers was about exhausted. Now that a demand for potatoes has sprung up in Snn Fran cisco, and the price here has gone up to 40 oi 45 cents a sack, the farmers are bringing them in at a great rate. By the last steamer, 0700 sacks were ship ped to San Francisco, and 70S sacks came in too late to be sent aboard. They are still pouring in at the rate o 10,000 sacks per melt, and the next stea ner will take away 8000 suck. A dealer when asked where such quanti. ties of potatoes came from, said: "Oh, when tbe price goes up the farmers make potatoes and onions." A short time since, when onions were 50 cents per sack, only 300 or 400 sacks a week came in to Portland. Now they are up to 2 50 per sack, and trom 1000 to 1500 sacks per week are coming in. The rise in the price of potatoes and onions is a good thng for the farmers and for the community, and those wbo sold when prices were down of course are very sor- ry. If farmers could only diicover some way of telling how long to hold on to their products; and when is the the best time to pell, they srould get rich. Fire Insurance F. E. Donaldson. S.
