Whil It 'to possible to get practically all the potatoes needed, this is about the only substi tute that is available in mora than nominal sup ply for tha remainder of tba present season. Not only' arc other grain scares with sop plies fsr below actual requirement even before the new flour regulation went into effect, but these grains which usually sell at price below that of wheat by a very considerable margin, are today, commanding stiff premium. There to ao price regulation at this time on coars grains and as the mills must have the supplies, holders of tha scant stocka remaining are asking extreme figure. It has been noted that of lata practically 90 per cent of the trade in both oata and barley gt Pacifio Northwest points, has been between dealers, growers having little to offer." . .
