POTATO
GROWERS
PUT PRICES HIGHER
fiise in Producing Sections
Passing to Consumers.
ADVANCES UP TO 75 CENTS
Shipments Increase During l'ast
IVeek and Are Nearly "Equal
to Those of Last Year.
The local potato market was firm with
a moderate movement. The beat Ore
Con Burbanks were quoted at 44.rd.
with a few sales at 4.T5. Frosted and
poorly (raded stock was held at $3.504.
.Jobbers asked J4.30fi)5 for Yakima Netted
Gems. Five cars of Washington potatoes
arrived and four cars of Oregona were
shipped.
Throughout the country growers have
. 'bsen able to put potato prices at a higher
level during the past week. Advances
ranging up to about 75 cents have been
general in most sections and these are
being passed on to the consumer as the
potatoes go through the various channels
of trade. A week ago the growers were
receiving from 12.70 to $3.25 in the various
'productlng- sections, and now the. top at
Oreeley. Colo., is $4; at Idaho Falls. Idaho.
J4.10, and at Waupaca, $3.40.
At Chicago. Minnesota and Wisconsin
Roupd. Whites have jumped from 13.25
36 t6 $4.10, and fancy . Idaho Russets
from $4.15 to $5.50 In carlots. which is
approaching the record prices for the
1916 crop. Similar prlces prevailed In
the south. ' At Fort Worth. California
Burbanks are selling to retailers at $5.75
05. with Colorado and Idaho stock
slightly lower. In the northwestern cities
the prices to retailers are generally $4
6. and the stock is not very well graded.
Shipments Increased slightly the past
week to 1915 cars, over one-third of which
came from Maine. The shipments for the
'season are nearly 'equal to those to the
corresponding date last year. Importa
tions -from Canada have been so heavy
this- season that the total available sup
ply to date is really increased about 2000
cars.
In the past week Oregon shipped 32
cars as against 11 in the preceding week.
-The record of carlot shipments, as issued
by the bureau of markets, follows: .

From the table above it will be seen
: that' a considerable part of the shortage
of the present crop is to be accounted for
by the small production in the southern
shipping stated' the past season. The
summer crop from them amounted to only
18.379 cars during 1010, whereas during i
1918 it was 33.070 cars and during 1917, ;
88,346 cars. With the total shipments j
of this season and last pearly equal to
date. Indicates either thathe late; ctojm
of the northern . states ..was. drawn upon
earlier last fall to supply tbe: deficiency
or that an unusually large part of It
has gone into storage.

Bond Market Is Irregular-: Steady
Improvement Noted In Metal
Trade.
NErW YORK, Jan. T. Stock, dealings
were visibly restrained today,, presum
ably as a result of intimations conveyed
to banking interests yesterday by the
federal reserve board.
The only echo of tho financial confer
ence at Washington was the announce
ment of another slight advance by the lo
cal branch of the csntral bank In short
time acceptances, such action being tak
en to meet the prevailing rate in the
open market.
Further large, orders for copper attest
ed to steady Improvement in tho metal
trade.
Steel, shippings, coppers and a few
familiar specialties, such as American
Woolen. Industrial, Alcohol, Endlcott
Johnson and sugars, contributed to the
stronger side of tho market, while motors,
oils and rails represented tho dull and
Irregular features.
Sales amounted to 800.OOO shares.
Liberty bonds were heavy, internationals
featureless and most domestic Issues Ir
regular, except local tractions. In which
moderate gains were made. Total sales,
par value, were $17,730,000.

CORN TURNS DOWNWARD
SELLING IS PROJtPTED BY
HOOVER'S STATEMENT.
Pressure Increased by Breaks in
Hog Market and Subsidence of
Export Demand Tor Rye.
CHICAGO. Jan. 7. Corn averaged low
er In price today, largely as a result of
statements by Herbert Hoover about fin
ancial aid to Europe. The market closed
unsettled at c to lc net decline, with
May $1.35 to $1.35, and July $1.33
to $1.33. Oats lost c to c. In pro
visions tfte outcome ranged from a set
back of 5c to 40c advance.
Breaks in value of hogs added to the
selling pressure of corn, as did gossip
that export demand for rye had been sat
isfied perhaps for the remainder of the
season.
Provisions sympathized with the hog
market depression, but the effect w-as
somewhat counterbalanced by purchasing
ascribed to grain houses.

Gold 6 Bonds
A Municipal Selling at Par Issued Under Conservative State Ism
Dated October li 1919 Due Serially April 1, 1926-1939
Denominations $100, $500
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Assessed valuation $ 513,559
Actual value, estimated 2,500,000
Bonded debt this issue only 159,000
Area 8500 acres.
The State of Wyoming has spent over $250,000 on a
State Farm lying within the district and pays about
$25,000 toward the cost of this improvement. This farm,
however, is not included in the assessed valuation.
Farms are now producing almost at the maximum,
this improvement being intended merely as a precaution
ary measure to keep fertile and high-priced land at the
maximum of production. Plans and specifications for
this improvement have been fully examined and ap
proved by the senior drainage engineer of the United
States Government. The land is practically all under
cultivation.
The Wyoming law provides especial safeguards. As
sessments bear 7 interest, while the bonds bear 6.
Thus a large guarantee fund is accumulated, because
there is always levied and due for collection one-sixth
more interest money than is actually required to meet
charges for any given year. The cost of - this improve
ment remains a lien against the land until full payment
is made. As a further protection, stipulation is made
that the amount of bonds issued and cash paid shall not
exceed 95 of the assessments. .
