            The potato market is still active and buyers as anxious as a lot of flies around a sugar barrel.  The price has held firm, ranging from 40 to 45 and in some instances 48 and 49 cents per bushel has been given. The following are the buyers on the street:  M.R. Baldwin for Frank Baldwin; Bob Ross for A.M. Penney; Will Bothwell for the Waupaca Starch & Potato Company; M. Fagerholt for Geo. Hanson; W.G. Packard and A.L. Hall for themselves.  Ed Bailey will fill his warehouse with choice stock, also a few specials may fill cellars for spring speculation. Olson & Son of Sheridan, having bought the brick warehouse of Chas. Churchill will soon be established on the Potato Board of Trade.  Wm. Peterson is buying and uses A.M. Penney’s scales and spur track southeast of the depot.
