Better Feeling
Apparent Now In
Butter Market
PORTLAND, Jan. 20 (IP) Some
what better feeling is apparent gen
eral In the market for butter. This
applies not only to the local field,
but to the coast generally. Decrease
make and Increased demand are fac
tors. Practically no changes are reflect
ed In the market for eggs locally. In
fact little change Is Indicated in any
of the leading markets of the coun
try. Mediums alone are very slow.
Sales of turkeys locally are now of
fair volume, but at late low prices.
Most of the toms and hens of quality
are moving to retailers 20 21c lb.
Prevailing situation in the chicken
market appears due only to the keen
deslro on the part of many producers
to liquidate and get. out of the busi
ness. Others are rigidly culling their
flocks. Both of these factors have
resulted in the annual showing of
weakness in live chicken prices, even
though the present Instance reflects
the lowest price since the system of
Be U lng by the pound was started.
In the market for country killed:
calves, demand remains favorable with
more business passing at the top
price. Hogs ore steady and unchang
ed. Demand for lambs Is Improved.
Only a sagging tone is shown for
potatoes. Primary points of the Pa
cific northwest continue to reflect
scarcely sufficient business to estab
lish prices. Local Jobbing trade is
very slow.
Market for onions continues to
mark time. Sales continue In a lim
ited way at $3.50, sacks and twine
but most holders are still seeking $4,
which Is not yet available.
Fine home grown French type en
dlvo is being offered here out of the
Monroe section. It came out of the
Vantwisk place and of very, good
quality. Priced 40c ll

wheat grown here during last sea
son Is still in the hands of the grow
era, a large part of which Is stored at
the farms. Some scattering sales of j
small. lots of wheat and barley fori
home feeding purposes are heard of,
with the bulk of the sales being I
made at lc per pound. Those hav- !
lng Hard Federation suitable for seed j
grain state that they Co .not dare to ,
sell now but expect to see a fairly j
good demand for seed in the spring, j
During the past fall low wheat prices
and highly unfavorable weather con- i
dltions at seeding time caused some I
farmers to with-hold seeding opera
tions and reports indicate that much
of this acreage will be seeded to
spring varieties of wheat this year. :
Very poor catches are the reports
from several persons in this end of
tho valley who have been trapping
for coyotes, badger and small fur- j
bearers during the past few weeks.
Prices received from some of the J
furs which have been marketed are
said to have been exceptionally low. j
In one instance a fairly good coyote
pelt brought only a dollar and others !
report that little better for badger
pelts marketed recently. Coyotes are
reported ;o, be quite plentiful in
many parts of the hills, however, the ,
great variation in weather condi
tions have made trapping operations
difficult.
Continued downward trend In egg
prices has placed the price at 19c per
dozen at local stores. These low
prices for this early in the winter
season comes as somewhat of a sur
prise to many. Reports from many
of the farms In this community state
that Increased production from flocks
is coming later than has been the
case in a number of years and with
the present balance of egg and feed
prices most owners are fincMng it
extremely difficult to break even on
feeding costs. - . .
Young lambs continue to arrive at
r few of the farms in this commun
ity and in most instances fairly good
luck is being had in saving the new
arrivals. A number 'of others report
that lambing with their flocks will
start around the first of February.

Giles Plass was at his ranch in
