Butter Surplus Is Appearing In Oregon Market PORTLAND, Juno 1 W) Greatly Increased offerings of butter are tak Ing care of California demand at this time with a surplus gradually appear ing in the local territory although the movement to date has been suf ficient to maintain the price gen eratly. The fact that butterfat values are at the extreme low here, Indicates that the previous advance In the price was not all that appeared on the surface. There la no real tight for butterfat "aT the moment, prac tically all Interest getting their full needs, and more. Trade In the egg market Is con sidered very unsteady at the moment with a shade of weakness dominating the structure. This is caused mostly by direct sales to retailers which are below established figures. Cleanup of live chicken supplies Is suggested by the local trade with late prices practically unchanged '- from la-it week. There 1b a fair call for turkeys at low values. While bulls are In rather extensive call, due to the greater demand for sausage and prices are being main tained, cow meat Is weaker and lower. Trifle weaker trading tone Is show ing for country killed calves as a re sult of recent arrival of considerable heavy stuff weighing around 135-140 lbs. general top 7c with a few 8c lb. Most recent sales of country killed lambs have been around as com pared with an extreme of 0c. Off grade contlhuod hard to move. Hog market appears steady; mostly 6c lb. for top blockers. First apricots of the season out of California are reported here. A small supply in lugs moved - nominally around 61.40.

If La Grando wcro to get as much moisturo m tho last soven months as It did In 1027, tho 1032 record would reach a new mark or around 32 Indies! That could hap pen, of course, but weather observers regard It as unlikely. During May tho woather was quite warm for a couple of weeks, with a high of 85 abovo, but there woro many chilly days, too, with one mini mum only 33 abovo In the business rcctlon, which meant freezing or be low uoarby. Rain fell during jnany of tho days, but there wcro no really heavy rains. Aay this year, was nearly normal. and speeded Immediately to the con cluding formalities which will make it law. The measure, designed to raise $1,116,000,000 of revenue, was passed 20 minutes after midnight, at the conclusion of a 14-hour dramatic iscsslon without) parallel In recent congresses. - '. ' Responding to a suddenly planned and personally delivered plea of President Hoover, the senate swiftly built up the bill by 280,000,000 with the eleventh hour addition of taxes on gasoline and electricity and in creased Income rates. Sales Tax Rejected , It turned a deaf ear to the presi dent's call for a manufacturer's sales tax, defeating this by the decisive margin of 63 to 27 just before pass- Ing the bill by the even wider margin of 72 to 11. I It beat down in rapid order a whole succession of attempts to strike out tariffs and revise previous decisions.! The bill was dispatched to the , house for a conference to adjust ' many differences, none of which were ! expected to prove dangerous. The 1 prospect waa it would be ready for ' the president's signature by the mid- . die of next week. After the terrific grind, the senate ! was weary and short-tempered at tho final vote. It heard a last rush of debate In which two Democrats, Olass of Virginia, and Tydlngs, of Maryland, argued the bill would fall to balance the budget. To this Reed, . of Pennsylvania, a d m 1 n 1 s tratlon spokesman, sharply answered that with the 238.000,000' economy bill, tho aim would be certainly accom plished.. , I Economy BIU Up Next This economy bill was ready to take the tax bill's place Immediately me senate reconvened at noon. - As It now stands, the tax bill Is the largest revenue-raiser ever ad opted by this government In peace time, its income tax-rates are equal to the Immediate postwar levies, be-. ginning at four per cent on the first 4000 and swiftly mounting. 1 carries a tremendous sweep of cxclso taxes which will probably tap the pocketbook of every American. It provides four new' tariffs:: oh petro leum, coal, - copper , and lumber. ' It Imposes higher postage rates, be- blnnlng with three cents for each letter. It . places a range of new taxes on financial transactions of all kinds, from stock market deals to routine porsonal bank checks. So determined was the senate to mako enactment of the bill Its ans wer to all doubts' and fears of the nation's stability, that Vice President Curtis even named the men who will confer with members of the house on Idjustlng the bill. Senators Smoot, Watson and Reed, Republi cans, Harrison and King Democrats, were given' this task. ......

LEADERSHIP RACE WAGED IN SALEM (Continued from Pago Ono) Frank Lonergan, speaker of the house at the -last session and who led tho ticket in Multnomah county pri maries for re -election to the house, is again being urged to run for presid ing officer. Earl Snell of Arlington, who prior to the clcuo of the 1931 session had lined up strong fon.es, is also a candidate, while Herbert Gor don of Portland, who was defeated for speaker by Lonergan at the last ses sion, again will be a candidate. In the senate friends of the ad ministration and of Wtllard L. Marks are urging the Albany senator to eub-; mit his name for re-election as prctft-: dent of the upper house While Marks ! so far has refused to consider run- nlng, it was believed probable ho may enter at the last moment, political ' observers here say. Marks has served as governor three or four times dur ing the past two years In the absence of Governor Julius L. Meier from tho state. rTpa kjckuc. or la urande, prom inent Eastern Oregon senator.

Ho Is a much bettor player now than when he beat John Black and Bob Jones at Skokie for the national open in 1922. He wasn't long out of the caddie ranks then and the sud den rise to the heights made him a trifle dizzy. He is still chockful of assurance, critical, somewhat quick-tempered and apt to disturb the more sensi tive of his brethren by his out spokenness. There's no middle ground with Sarazen. You either like or dislike htm. He's aggressive, but he's good; a greater "finisher" now in medal play competition than Walter Ha gen evar was. . j p nnd this &slon would be the return.

He won the national Indoor 300-yard championship. He louKed like a sure thing to make the Olym pic team In the 400-meter run. But It also happened Ross liked to sing. He belonged to the Yale Glee club and when this organiza tion scheduled a few touring engage ments at the same time as the Olym- . pic tryouts, Ross was found among the college warblers, not the quarter-mllers. He's widely known around the stu dios now as "Lanny Ross." . FOXX IN HIGH One of the few spring predictions concornlfife the Athletics to be ful filled Is the return of Jlmmle Foxx to high-powered hitting form. The big, round-faced Maryland boy looked great down In Fort My ers and he has been stamping his extra "x" all over the American league records so far. Cotoilo Mack once told me Foxx, when he connected, coulo) produce the most prodigious clouts of any rlghthanded batsman In the history of baseball. There are many old timers, watching "Foxxy" this spring. wsj agree that he belongs with Delehanty, Lajole and Horns -by for long range work. Unless Al Simmons snaps out of his slump he will find his batting crown snatched away by the big fel low who follows him In the A's bat ting order. This is Jlmmle's eighth season with the Mackmen. although he will not be as years old until October n His best season waa 1929 when he hit .354, but he dropped tot ,291 lat year. .
