Bulk of Trading; for Season on Basis
$ -of $1.25 to $1.50 Per Hundred
weight to Producers.
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.
