Jnqulrlea from the aoulh are Increasing : and during the paat ti houre a number of car have been eold for southern California and San Francisco account. Thera la a much better tone In the Ca.ll ' fornla potato market and, while the object of the California people who are now boosting the price here ta aelflsh. their boosting will be . productive of rood after all. Some time ago The Journal atated that from all appear- ancea Oregon would not have scarcely 'enough potatoea to fill Ita own requlre ments, not alone shipping Immenae sup ; pllea to the outalde, arid condltlone that now preaent themaelvea aeem to fully confirm thla view, made fully a month . ago. Want Select Stock In South. 1 Ths grower of aelect potatoea thla vear good, amooth and .werage alaed stock who aella his production now, ta quite foolish according to thoae'on the Inalde. While California river diatrlcta atill have plenty of potatoea to supply that section for some monthe yet the fine la stiffening there. Fancy pota oea real select stock, such aa Oregon ' usually produces are very scarce In Cali fornia even at thla time, although there ia plenty of ordinary, atock to go . around. Free Offering Beam at as Sad. While Oregon potato men have been mot freely offering potatoea here dur ' In the past few days, it la now be lieved that the movement will be re trlcted. Although this holding for higher prices will allow the California ; people to get rid of their supplies while we are noiaing, me enter vuyr rrc secretly state that there la little doubt that better prices will rule on our v rtntA toAN aftpr awhile. The Journal lr. In receipt of the fol lowing communication from w. . Broaddua (Sam) who la at preaent In Texaa: By Sam Broaddua, Fort Worth. Texas. Oct. 22. Com lerclal Editor. Oregon Journal Our people In Idaho wired ua tTils morning that over one third of the potatoea there were frozen In the ground. Thla Is serious and meana a loss of at least 600 ears to the markets of the west. - You can't make it too strong advice to your people to hold their potatoes : and let California sell they must sell anyway for their potatoes will not keep later than March without an enormous shrinkage. Oregon will have the mar . keta of California and Arizona besides her local market to supply next spring and the state has not a sack of pota toes to sell to. the south now. This Is , the one chance in five for the Oregon : farmer to make money let him hold, Dealers can't Import from Minnesota or Wisconsin next spring they haven't the potatoes to sell. Owing to vthe very liberal arrivals of cntcxens in me local marxec auring ine past 24 hours, there was a loss or He in tne price as nas Deen recently quoted by The Journal. While some dealers were asking a fractional advance over these previous figures, the general trade soia at tnem. i nose wno soia nigner, cut their values on a par with those printed In this report today. It Is be lleved, however, that a still lower range will rule unless arrivals ease off somewhat. Eggs are showing a disposition to weaken slightly owing to the easier tone elsewhere and the slight increase In local arrivals. Creamery butter Is holding steady at the decline or yesterday. Cheese tnarket is likely to go hleher, from cresent indications. Most of the plants at Tillamook are closing owing to tne snort supply 01 cream.
