RECEIPTS 376,000 bushels, Reap the golden harvest while the consumers will stand the price, seems | to be the 1917 slogan of the potato men, Potatoes are coming into the eity by rail and water at a rate here- tofore unknown, In the producing centres of the South they are calling for more cars and bags and sacks and containers of all sorts, Here in New York, the daily receipts are averag- ing from 90,000 to 100,000 bushels, but the tabulated receipts tell only half the story. Over on the Pennsylvania tracks in New Jersey there are never than 100 to 160 cars waiting to Drought over to the docks on this } and last night the total cars of | itoes on all tracks was estimated Sat 'from 200 to 225, with other train- Joads no great distance behind. The fact is that the potato men are always two to three days ahead of the actual receipts on this side of the river, The slump in wholesale prices is never allowed to'be permanent or of such a nature that the product can be turned over to the consumers at a fair price, based on the abnormal production and the continuous flow , of the product into this city. “The purpose of the grow sbippers,” said Lyman B, Stuart the National Pure Food Bulletin souapparent that nobody need waste words in describing it, They are al- jawing just enough’ to come over to this side of the river to keep the mar- ket wherever they want it. I doubt very m if even the Long Island crop will bring any relief, Every po- tato association seems bent now on soaking the public, There can be no permanent change in the wholesale market so long as th sociations gan keep up the present tactics,” ‘One day the wholesale market de- Glines, the next day It goes up, and then for an entire week the high point and supple and tough. come when Army or at home.

From these figures it may be seen that shortage of the product cannot be given as an excuse for prices that are fact that nearly every day there are from twenty to twenty-five cars not unloaded shows that consumption is not above the normal, The Government's weekly rev! issued to-day shows that from June to 18 there have been 2,786 ‘cars shipped from the producing centre: n increa. of 444 cars over the Pp few ceding w This means 54 barrels, or 1,641,600 bushels {n a week, Every trade bulletin frankly admits the shipments are “enormo| and express “surprise” that the Brow ers and shippers are able to “doub! the. prices of last year and keep the going.” The prices at the closing of yes- terday's business ranged from $8.50 to $10.60 for best grades and $3 to $8 a barrel for lower p les, One of the excuses the potato men give for extortionate prices is the Increased cost of labor, The Labor Department h now in preparation a schedule of prices paid at producing centres to show that the Inc cost in the handling of the actual necessities of life, whether on the soll or at dis- trihuting centres, has hardly been one-tenth of the increase in other branches of Inbor, To some firms owning outricht or largely controlling the potato crops the average increase per day laborer at producing centre has not heen above 10 and 15 cents, ind {n some places less; while at re- ceiving centres the only increase has heen In. carta res, due to awards to drivers and thelr helpers, Give You the Feet of a Fighting Man These Regal Nature’s Doctor oxfords build up your feet—develop the muscles—make them Prepare now!
