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.
