- Outlook for potato prlcrs is showing
practically no change. While a frao
tional decline In value s shown In San
Franclsoo today, this -event has besn
generally expcct'l by ths trade, pending
the holidays, and very little activity la
txpeeted until ai'ter New gear's.
A special advice received here today
States that California interests are abi
at this time to bring eastern wtoefc to
tb coast with freight paid at $1.75 per
' cental, therefore, unleisa there 1 a
change in the situation east it Js not
likely that Callfornlans will offer much
more for Oregon stork.
This is only a few fraction! above
the .present price of potatoes at Sao
Francisco." therefore the outlook for ej
t treme tiijjlj values here is not bright
Leadlnx potato interests' continue to
believe that ?1.25 will be the extreme
limit that dealers here will V?Y growers
for' potatoes this yeas. Thin would
m"an that the potatoes .would cost the
dealers fully $1.60 to land at San Fran
eisco, and together with shrinkage, com
' missions and elher profits, the top value
would be absorbed.
Local potato market Is quiet and 'off
grade stock is bard to sell. - Some of
a this is being- Oij.ered by Front street
houses as low as $1.10 for (rood quality
of various slsses. It is only the selected
sizes of Quality that are bringing top
' figures.
