Steady Demand Experienced for Po

The demand fnr nntatnaa nra.
tically all the big markets Increased
during last week with better prices.
Supplies were not larte. at anv nt iha

surplus was worked off.

practically no market here for the
inumpn potatoes at this time In
this section. Buyers accept Tri
umphs for shipment on consignment
only. The Ohlos and whites are pre
rerred for table stock to the Tri
umphs. The movement lately from
this section has been light. A peri
od of warm weather would probably
result In heavier demand.
Kansas CKy commission firm
learned last week that It pays to buy
western potatoes In preference to
(having them shipped from the east
ern section of the country. An award
of $6,983.37 was granted in the clr
cult court at Kansas City before
Judge Burney on February 27 to E.
S. Woodward & Company of Phila
delphia, the plaintiff in a suit against
the Cochrance Brokerage Company
of Kansas City, for the recovery of
losses claimed to be $7,409.43. The
loss occurred in August of 1917,
when the Cochrane Brokerage Com
pany rejected 18 cars of potatoes
hipped by E. S. Woodward & Com
pany. Evidence presented showed that
the contract entered into by the con
tending parties called for 20 cars of
Jersey Cobbler potatoes at $1.30 per
"bushel f. o. b. loading stations In
South Jersey and no grade was spec
ified. All 20 cars were billed open
and the bills of lading sent to the
Cochrane firm here. Upon arrival,
the first two cars were accepted and
the following 18, which had already
left the eastern points, were reject
ed. Disposition- was then made

B. F. MERCER
Breeder of Thorobred Hereford Cattle
through local brokers at prices which
necessitated a substantial loss..
The contract price, $1.30 f. o. b
Jersey points, represented approsl
inately $1.65 per bushel here (at
that time trading was done on the
bushel basis). A radical decline in
prices during t' e latter part of Aug'
ust, while the potatoes were on the
road, brought Kansas City prices
flown from 50c to 60c per bushel
This decline necessitated considera
ble loss to the Cochrane Brokerage
Company If they accepted the pota
toes, and the plaintiff claimed that
to be the real cause of rejection.
Had the Kansas City firm purchas
ed its potatoes from the western Ne
braska districts it would have un
doubtedly saved on freight and se
cured potatoes that would have made
it money. With the large surplus
of potatoes each year in the middle
west there can be no excuse for pur
chasing by firms In this district from
the eastern coast
The market for last week, as re
ported by The Packer, was as fol
lows :
Kansas City Market Retter
Kansas City. The potato market
showed prices on one or two varie
ties slightly lower last week, but
the change was not large. An im
proved feeling permeated the market
early last week, mostly on account
of the better clearance. The accu
mutation of the last two weeks has
been worked off and lighter arrivals
promise to avoid further congestion.
Approximately 55 cars were on Tues
day's market, of which five were held
for diversion.
The Improvement of the market
has been due to smaller receipts, for
buying demand continues weak. The
seed Triumph market Is character
ized as a quiet one. Stock is being
sold for eating at prices of $1.25 and
$1.30 per cwt. on track here. West
ern whites also meet little demand,
with prices for No. 1 stock ranging
from $1.40 and $1.55 per cwt. Cur
rent quotations for other varieties,
No. 1 sacked In carlotB, are: Northern
Ohio Red River, $1.55 and $1.60 per
cwt; Western Red McClures, $1.60
and $1.65 per cwt; Nebraska Early
Ohlos, $1.50 and $1.55' per cwt;
Minnesota round whites and Bur
banks, $1.50 and $1.60 per cwt. Bulk

the foregoing quotations, and poor
