' ntW IC JTIOI 107 fOXT sTRtET CONSIGN POTATO TO COAST TRADE " Calif orira is today securing pracfcsJly - its entire potato needs en consignment. There has never before been e ynsr at least within the memory ef the trade here when the market has been so void of cash demand as at the present time. Because of financial conditions of long standing potato growers of the "river" district of CaliXornte, and this Includes a very large percent of the output, are, freely eoav siu nihg - their suppiiM to . whslesals and com mission houses of tie South while as a rule cash prices mere the balk of the supplies. It will likely be some time before the Cali fornia stock will be cleaned up. " While Ca 11 fornis is today esjoying quite a fair trade with Texas, ' shipments to other points have been curtailed all throuah the season, forcing the holding of greater stpeka than normal. Idano growers as well as those of. the Yakima section continne to consign potatoes to any who mc tnem, in isu too many. wno pretar not to receive the stocks. Naturally this creates a stagnant trade atmosphere in- this section, resulting in nominal ralues T&t country points. Local! T the market has' been fairly active during uie last few days "owing to the cold weather. Because of this saane condition sup plies could not be. safely moved from, the farms. - - - , DAIRY PRODUCE OF THE COAST Sen Frenc4soo Market San Prancisco, lec- 15. (U. P.)

J - COTTON" MARKET EASIER? t EARLY PRICES ARE LOWER New York.: Dec 15. As though cotton prices had been working higher on important development not yet disclosed, announcement that plans for financial assists rice to Germany were being formulated brought about an easier market today, i - . - - . Good news being out, there wss an evident tendency to realise profits. This applied rather te aeattered holders than to interesta which have been accumulating contracts the past week. No evidences of this cottoa being re leased appeared.- - A a result, price moved sbout more or less uncertainly, starting 10 points lower, recovering to closing figures snd then working off 20 points, or to below 25.70 for May. Throughout the advance following Tuesday ' Washington report, houses with Southern con nection bave sold steadily. Trade buying haa aot been asgmsive. and many . commission bouses have had comparatively tew orders to execute. Certain brokers, however, .hare dons a large business. Since the market seemed to run into considrable cottoa and the upward movement failed to exhibit characteristica sim ilar to those prevailing during the resistless advance in October, a tendency to step aside for the moment has been evident in many Elec tions. One reason for the reaction today was the fact that 'large buying orders executed so frequently each, session since Monday were ab sent. Matters seemed te be left to drift for themselres. Strength in securities, however, with a steady Liverpool market and prospect of another week ofsrge spinners' takings all oper ated to sustain prices. The market acted tired all day and, with constant selling going on, prices closed at tbe bottom. , While no large lines appeared, a loss of about 30 points wan recorded. January closed at 25.23 to- 24.23'. March. 25.47 to 25.49, and May, 25.59 to 25.60. Prices reported by Orerbeck A Cook com pand. Month Open.
