There is t controversy among potato Interests as to the probable range of prices and the needs of the trade that resembles In many particulars the sea- ' son of 1908-9. - . i ' ' On March 1. 1909. it was estimated by pome Interests that there remained 1, 000,000 bags of potatoes In California, while others were positive that less than half of this amount could be gathered " together in the, southern commonwealth. This season It was stated by Sam Broaddus, the well known potato dealer, that there was a short time ago in rovfnd numbers some 800,800 sacks of river potatoes available for market This is denied at this time by other parties. For' instance 3, H. Grande, formerly located here, Ha a buyer of potatoes for California account, says there are a million bags today available along the rivers.'' - ' ' L'''"'3 r" avs S Looks for Blnwp, - : Grande arrived on the train from the riiith this mornine. he says to purchase strawberry plants,, for.his firm Is., nqt going Into the potato trade here , at present, He says:-;.. ".""'"' - , "Thf-r are a million bugs "Of potatoes now la California and the consumption is about 6000 bags a day, Instead of 10,000 bags. Prominent dealers of Cal ifornia, Including Longdoni-Produce company, Wood-iCurtls, Wolf & Sons, Kn-nls-Brown and Henderson & Lonjfd'jm have together purchased 600 cars of po tatoes In Nevada from $15 to $1T a yon.l These potatoes will be shipped to dan Francisco during the months of, Jan- uary and - Jebruary . ftceordlng to con- j , pebruacy Khun?. yerhapa, . ,:,v. . Mr. Grande told Thfl Journal hls morning that this big eupply of pota toes for the San Francisco market would - undoubtedly break that market during the month of -February, "& time when the greatest offerings from here . are Shown during normal seaeona. . According to Mr. Grande, while the riveT district of CaUfornla, produced one of its greatest crops, as well as good quality this, peason. the potatoes are not showing good keeping, quality and . aV- ready mny oi 1 inem navo-omncu I sprout, . "W hile this would probably mean that very late shippers would. be bene- f - . a , ,,1.

"Tht conditlon,, says Mr, Grafnia, "la doe to the fact that the entire.-river district was' overflowed last season and practically all the grdwera planted new seed the present 'season. The quality was v good. for early consumption, but th soil was soured by the overflowed rivers, and therefore the potatoes will not keep as long as usual. , 'Because of their obtaining new seed throughout the district last season It ta not likely that California will wnt many cars of Oregon seed this sca son.

Values on cranberries at eastern and other coast centers are gradually work ing higher and Portland, is today , the cheapest market for this stock in the entire country, counting freight charges.
