Th? demand for potatoes in the lobbing market was limited, as a consequence of the recent steep advances, and retailers report a fallinr off In their sales. Street prices, however, were maintained at 6.50 07 for Oregon and $707.50 for Takimas. .Fr.rmera, as a rule, are not of ferine; their stocks freely, though a number were on the' market yesterday and they seemed to think It not safe to hold on much longer. Most of the purchases were reported at $6. It is said that Japanese growers are the largest holders In this section and that they show no slams of unloading yet. The blame for the present local shortage is larorely placed on them. Over In Wash ington stocks are closely cleaned up ohd the remaining lots are held at high prices, some growers asking as much as $130 a ton. Throughout the east the market ruled firm during the past week, with moderate supplies and demand fair to good.

They show the amount of the funds deposited by us with our banks in the regular course of business. During: the first three months of 1917 our business represented transactions in the amount of $324,332.13, and during- the same period for 1920 it was $17,236, 279.04. The conlparison shows that during- January, February and March of 1920, we did over fifty-three times the volume that was done in the same period for 1917. Although these figures do not represent actual sales, yet they are indicative of the unprecedented growth which we have enjoyed during: this three-year period, . ' and show clearly what our contribution has been to the financial stability of city and state. Figuring- it out from the standpoint of bank clearings adding- the deposits with the disbursements there would be a total of approximately $34, 000,000 in bank clearings for which we were responsible during- these three months. To our many friends and clients who have contributed to the establishment of such an enviable record of growth and leadership we wish to extend our thanks and appreciation, and express the hope that we may never fail to render a quality of service equal to that which has given us this honor.

Seasonal characteristics appear in re tail distribution, vUch develops Increased animation as spring advances, and re ports of Easter turaover, notwithstanding the prolonged era of extreme prices, seem almost uniformly favorable. After several years of rising prices, em bracing practically everr commodity, the continued large movements of goods into consumption hj especially noteworthy, and demonstrates the enhanced purchasing power accruing from the higher wasres. and the unusually profitable returns from business and agriculture is still present in many channels. . Measured by the first quarter's In solvency statement, which discloses fewer failures than In any similar period In four decades, trade and industry maintain a position of strength and stability, and the recent turn for the better In foreign exchange has rendered financial aspects more reassuring, and hast been helpful to seneral sentiment.
