- PORTLAND, May 13 VP) Tone of
the wholesale butter market was In
c lined easier and the egg situation
remained weak ln the early trading
today. Easing of butter from its re
cent firm trading position resulted
from a pronounced falling off of ship
ping demand. With floating supplies
practically all lert to Duyera on iocaa
accounts an excess of receipts
weighted the market. A cent drop ln
the San Francisco market was a zur
ther easlnsr influence here. Efeg re
ceipts were lighter but fully ample
zor tne traoe. .race concessions con
tinued common.
Slow movement of supplies marked
the country dressed meat and poultry
trade. Quotations on meats were un
changed but plenty of calves con.
tinued to seu aown to iv ceow
pound for off duality.
Most poultry lines were quoted
lower due to slow demand and con
sequent accomulatlons. Best heavy
nens topped at m cents, on a cent

SAVE 3 STEPS
IN BAKING
How many times have you wished you could have
delicious chocolate cakes and cookies without the
necessity for grating and melting the chocolate,
and mixing it in afterwards, when your batter
is "touchy"?
Use Ghirardelli's Ground Chocolate instead, and
you can save those three steps. Ghirardelli's is in
powdered form and so they are unnecessary. Just
drop your Ghirardelli's into the sifter with the
other dry ingredients.
Ghirardelli's has the full fine flavor that only real
chocolate can have plus convenience. That's why
it's the West's favorite.
