New Potatoes Are Coming In

NEW POTATOES ARE COMING IN

THE FARMERS ARE NOW BRINGING THEM IN

At Prices Ranging from Fifty to Sixty Cents a Bushel While Detroit Prices are 52c

Potatoes according to a local dealer have gone up to 60 cents a bushel, while the price in Detroit has been 52 cents for a few days now. 

For the time being potatoes have taken a slight raise but the unusually large amount of potatoes that the farmers are bringing in and selling direct to the consumers may bring the price down. "How much do you want for your potatoes," was asked a farmer who was unloading from his wagon. "Fifty cents," was a reply. Another dealer up the street was selling them at 60 cents by the single bushel but said he would take 50 cents if they could sell the wagon load to one party. 

Michigan farmers have kept the price up with the idea that the quantity was smaller than the usual on account of the wet weather but potatoes now seem to be coming into Ann Arbor in as large quantities as usual.
