"The wholesale potato market is quite firm with an op ward tendency," aid a dealer in the tubers, to a reporter on Saturday, in reply to a question as to the condition of the trade.

While the crop in the Middle and Eastern states, except Maine, was quite light, that of the West was very heavy, but hardly of as good quality as the nearer home growth. Even counting the increased production ia the West, the crop is behind that of last year. Before October potatoes sold for higher prices than they did at a similar period last year, but since then and up to the close of last week, they ruled somewhat lower, but the indications are that from now on prices will advance. Last year it is said that no potatoes were imported, but this year already there have been several invoices received la Sew York from Scotland, and It ia also said that later on Importation will bs mads direct to Philadelphia. At present prices of the domes-tie product it does not pay to import them, as the freight will average nearly half a cent a pound, or 80 cents a bushel, to which must be added the duty ot 15 cents a bdsbel, while the freight from Iowa, Indiana or Illinois to Philadelphia is about 20 cent a butheL Even while domestic potatoes can at present be sold cheaper iban tbe foreign, tbe alleged superior excellence tf the Scotch vegetable, especially tbe Magnum variety, causes a demand for it at a higher price.

There baa been so much romancing about the hysterical grief of King Alexander "at not being allowed to see his mother" that It becomes necessary to recall that the king is not a mere child, but a full grown boy of 18, and, indeed, so precociously developed that he looks as English boys do si 15. He Is of a calm disposition, bears himself with dignity, and would oertalnly never ask any favor of his tutor, Dr.

Dokttoh, or of one of the regents with crying or wringing of bands. Had he manifested any strong desire to see hi mother his wishes would hav been granted, but from first to last the boy has been in complete understanding with his father. He Is very fond of his father, a fact which many who affect to pity him leave altogether out of reckonings- He is also thoroughly imbued with a sense of his position as king, and be is old enough to understand that hit mother's conduct may do him politically serious injury.
