A 60 per cent. rise in the prevail- ing retail price of potatoes over 4 year ago is attributed by wholesale and retail dealers to various causes. Freight congestion, a shortage in the heavy producing states, a “corner” of the Maine crop by a select few who are holding out for higher prices and a few isolated cases of “potato-rot” are among the reasons given. Pota- toes were averaging $1.50 a bushel in the retail market Saturday. About two weeks ago they were $1.25 a bushel, while a Year ago they sold for 31 a bushel or less. The contrast is suffi- cient to worry the average housewife. No further rise is immediately anti- cipated, but among the poorer.classes where the potato is a favorite and de- pendable article the jump in price is particularly felt when they come to pay $1.50 a bushel. Although the embargo on freight ldoes not include perishable articles, many of the wholesalers are timid about receiving large shipments on ac- count of delaye@ transportation, and this, to some extent, has prompted the raise in price. Another reason given is that a few Maine speculators have gained con- trol of most of the crop in that state, with the exception of a few of the in- dependent farmers, dumped the pota- toes into frost-proof cellars, and now demand advanced prices from the wholesalers. Cases of “potato rot” have been re- ported from a few places in New York and Michigan stetes. Potato rot is a ry destructive disease of the potato, caused by a parasiuc fupsus and sometimes involves the loss of almost an_entire crop. Potato shortage is apparently the most substantial reason advanced and is backed by figures.’ The final 1915 estirhate showed only 27,000,000 bush- els more than in 1913, but nearly 47,- 000,000 bushels less than in 1914. All of the gains were In states of small production, while the heavy losses were in the leading potato states, Expressed in million bushels the heaviest decreases were: Maine, 11; New York, 31; chhinn, z A ‘Wiscon- sin, 12; Pennsylvania, 8; , 2; Col- orado, Idaho, 2. F!'om these fig- ures it may be seen that the states that supply Connecticut were among the big losers. The largest gains were: Illinois, 6: Missouri, 5; Kansas, 1; South Dakota, 2; Wuh{ngton, Orson, 1; Mon- tana) 1; Iowa, 3; Indiana, 1; New Jer- sey, and Nebraska, 2. California, with 10,000,000 bushels, Minnesota with 30,000,000 bushels, kept even, as also did North Dakota, with 6,000,000 bushels. REFUSED TO WALK TO POLICE STATION South Canterbury Man Had to Be Taken in An Automoh John Deleay of South Canterbury whom Policeman Charles Smith ar- rested on Franklin square for intox- ication about 3 o'clock Monday aft- ernoon, became stubborn on the way to police headquarters when he round- ed the Wauregan corner with the of- ficer, lying down and refusing to go any farther. A friend who was with him tried to reason with him and also to help the policeman, but he pulled them both down on the pave- ment with him and was such an awk- ward load to handle that the police- man summoned Mellor’s automobile in which he was taken to the police station, where he "had to be carried in _as he refused to use his feet. He had to be locked up without learning who he was, as he refused to give his name. This was learned late at night when he was in a more docile frame of mind. FUNERALS. Mrs. Henry G. Baker.

There is, however, a certain element of patriotism in the Egyptian's appraisement of his lead- ing crop. Besides being more silky, and somewhat longer than American cotton—the best hitherto grown in the world—, Egyptian cotton mercerises easier: so that it finds a special mar- ket among manufacturers turning semi-silk and silk-gloss cotton goods.

The fibre of most of the cotton culti- vated in Egypt, however, is not as long or as strong as American Sea- Island cotton, nor does it yield so large a crop as American upiand cotton, wheer the latter is properly cultivated.
