Demand Is Smaller Than Ever
and Therefore Buyers Are
Not Willing to Take Hold of
Supplies.
Potato market Is dropp'ng again, and
Jobbers are freely-offering supplies 10
tne retail trade torts y at NUoWJl a sac
While It K stated that iih high ss 60c
tier hundred nounds would still he raid
for selected eastern Multnomah and
Clackamas potatoes, buyers are not anx
ious to tske hold at that figure, and
practically no business In that Una has
resulted of late.
Front street dealers report a very
slow movement of potatoes to the trade,
because farmers are "peddling," and
therefore take care of most of the city
trade In this way. So far as outside
jobbing business Is concerned, there Is
but little encouragement to offer lust
now because at country points potatoes
are naturally lower than here.
LUtlHi Trad Continues.
Trade In the potato inarktt Is lifeless
so far as saulhwealern liueJueBB Is con
cerned. Buyers say they are not even
trying to get orders at the present tlms
because Colorado ti offering so much
lower than the dealers of this state can
possibly sell at that It Is a waste of
both time and money to attempt to se
cure orders In the faee of such condi
tions. While a few growers of the Oresham
district are said to be holding about as
tight as ever, most producers are really
seeing, the exact state of conditions, nnd
are therefore quite willing to unload
at whatever the market will Justify.
According; to advices from California,
the indications at present are that the
river districts will have new potatoes
much earlier than usual this year, and
this therefore will shorten the season
.for old stock that much.

More than 5000 pieces of literature
were sent out during the past week from
the office of census supervisor S. C.
Beach. This literature is educational In
Its nature, and Is Intended to make It
plain to the people of the state that the
census Is for enumeration purposes only.
There is a sentiment among the for
eign population particularly that the
Information given to the census enumer
ators may be used against them for tax
ation purposes, or may result in their
deportation or work some similar hard
ship upon them. The office Is desirous
of educating the foreign population par
ticularly concerning the census, and be
lieves that It can be done largely
through the medium of literature.
The schools are also aiding In the
work and will Instruct the pupils In the
meaning of the census, believing that in
this way many of the parents who en
tertain suspicions of the census man
may be reached.
Senator Beach Is not overlooking the
cowboys, either, and has sent a big lot
of mall to the range riders of the In
terior part of the state explaining the
purpose of the census and asking their
aid In rounding up the scattered popula
tion of the. Interior districts.
The list of enumerators is expected
from Washington in a few days, the rec
ommendations of Senator Beach having
been sent to Washington several days
ago. Owing to the recent interruptions
to the mails through storms, the list
has been delayed In reaching Washing
ton, but it is believed that It will bo
approved and returned to Senator Beach
within a few days.
