Another 12-hour session lay be- fore the legislators and the pro-treaty forces were hopeful that by adjournment tonight the verbal outflow would be nearly exhausted. Failing in efforts to bring about a ifnanimous consent agreement limiting debate and fixing a time for a vote, administration leaders determined upon night sessions as a means of expediting action.

Potatoes are quoted by the barrel this year- at from $2.50 to $3.50 for the best grades and from $1.25 to $2 for what is known as No. 2s, a smaller, less desirable grade. Last year they were from $2 up to $5.30 for the best grade. Potatoes are selling at 5 Cents a pound for the best grads or six pounds for 25 cents in most places.

Chain stores and some others carry a grade marked five pounds for 15 cents, a little less desirable in A standard barrel of potatoes! theoretically weighs 180 pounds, but in actual practice the retailer gets as a rule 150 pounds and seldom more than 155 pounds, with no guarantee of full weight, the custom being to buy a "barrel" and let it go at that. At present prices potatoes of the highest grade cost the retailer a trifle over 2 cents, a pound plus delivery charges. Those selling at the 3-cents-a-pound rate get the cheaper gra es unless the stores able to buy in carload lots can take advantage of carload prices, thus making a cheaper price possible for the same grade. Sweet potatoes are coming in in small quantities but are high in price, retailing at two pounds for 35 cents for potatoes of varying size. i Golf a la Capone.
