(JP) A keen demand for shipment has resulted in potato prices be ing forced higher with tbe bulk of the purchases moving into storage, tbe Journal said today. The prlco advance Is said to be felt at practically all Pacific northwest primary points. "The market Is highly specu lative," the article said, "and It begins to look to many as if further advances will be forced at least for a time because ot tbe holding back of supplies from the market. There Is no doubt that the trade is beginning to feel the effects of the great short age in mid-west and eastern pro duction." It was said Idaho is the larg est shippers of potatoes at the moment. On last Friday, with total shipments of 837 cars throughout the United States, Idaho shipped 242 cars, Oregon 28, Washington 24, and north ern California six. Shipments were said to be es pecially heavy out of Klamath Falls section where growers bad their largest crop. Prices there were said to range around $1.60 cental for No. 1. The Deschutes district is shipping heavily and is said to bo receiving $1.25 and sacks. At Yakima No. 1 stock Is offered sparingly around 225 a ton to shippers, while 2's are even loss plentiful around 1 16 to 217 a ton.
