M. k.t Hold Firm Prteee
of
Chicago The potato market op
eaed firm th first of laat week buy
er Tuesday had ensed off a little
In view of . a drop In the demand
from local source. The inquiry from
etitslde polnta continued Rood, but
the buyers' idooa aa to price close
ly followed the flucuation of tho
Market here.
An improvement is noted in the
quality of atock th:l la now cdmlnn.
Since the first of the month Mine
otn. which eo far has beon the heav-
contributor to this market, has
grading practically all the stock
rolling of thr.t state. The Drkotas
re also grading and Wlsconotn
aemn to be rnpldly getting In line.
Some of the interest in that state
continue shipping field run but there
to a movement on now within the
state to enforce the grading require
ments. Cars from sections that are known
to be grading are being glvt n prefer
once by buyers as they can take hold
of them with some assurance aa to
what is to be found at the doors and
at both ends. It seems to be the im
roaslon that this preference for
graded stock will have a tendency to
bring into line those who have not
requl, ements of tho Food Adminis
tration. So far shlpers have had hift little
if eny difficulty In getting an ade
quate supply of cars to fill their re
quirements. The movement until!
around October IS, will be in box
ears and it Is after that date that
the car shortage usually develops.
From present Indications, however,
not nearly as much difficulty Is ex
ported for this winter a was exper
ienced a year ago.
Receipts have ben fairly liberal as
the harvest of the crop Js on in all
nearby states although some sec
tions will not bein 'he flush of It

Stag The rains which fell in parts of
Michigan and Wisconsin the middle
of laBt week, were of general benefit
to the crop und will add much to
4he yield. Light frosts have visited
some of the districts to the North

places, was slight.

'Those who expect to have a
poac'ied egg or an egg and a slice
of ham for breakfast during the com
ing winter had better be laying them
by. Eggs are going to be mighty
scarce during the winter, and dealers
declare that they would not be afraid
to place a few bets that strictly fresh
eggs will bring one dollar a dozen
about the first of the year.. The gov
ernment urges householders to put
up eggs in water glass, so that they
will not have to go without them
Waen the snow begins to fly and the
head of the house spends his spare

upon to enroll In the United States

vice. This call Is for enlistment in

tion, which Is a part of the U. 8. de
partment of labor. The call Is not
