In his review of thu 1018 potato sessnn in Oregon. R. L. Ringer, of the local office of the bureau of markets, says: From a crop estimated at a.SOO.OOO bushels a total of 1680 care have been sldpped to date and It la expeoted that 100 more will go out, while from' a crop of 8.100,000 bushels In 1917 only 1802 c-trs-wtre shipped. If a similar portion of thrt crop had been shipped this season, c-nly 1289 cars would have moved. The prices to producers In Oregon reached $l.lo1.20 per cwt. In December, 1917. but by March of 1918 had dropped as low as 73c After prices dropped below $1. large amounts were tod to stock. The bulk of the trading for the season nss been on the basis of $1.25ij.l.50 per cwt. to the .producers. When the market spurted a little in April higher prices wore paid. Some reached $2 and many of ih.i stocks still iri the hands of the growers are being held for that. In Oregon potatoes are shipped from tho seaside at Tillamook, from the nioiiut-ilii top at Baker, from the ri':hlm I lwrt of tho Deschutes and from the liilelands of Clatskanle. Most of the growers liae only a few hundred nolul each to Moll which- tho buyers combine to mate up carlots. The record of the movement by months shows that the Oregon growers parted with the larger part of their crop when the prices were close to tho high .vel of the season. Shipment) really br.-iu in November and continued at a stea.lv rate until the. slump of January and February. They dropped to 375 - cars for the lattt-r month. The last few days In Marca Ihey picked up a trifle. Many who weio hold ing for higher prices despaired of seating them and began to unload. The outlet for Oregon potatoes has been restricted more than usual the past sea son because the flat increase of railroad rates was against them on the lon liavl Into Texas and the New Orleans market. In past years a large part of the state's output reached the consumers of that sec tion bitt It moved mostly to California this year.
