WHEAT Butter Prices Not Changed Despite Supply Increase Chicken Weakness Believ' : ed Subsiding; ' Demand ' For Veal Favorable and Mutton Improves. 1 PORTLAND, June 25 VP) Lack of price change in the butor trade appears due mostly to continuance of the efforts of speculative interests to protect their storage supplies. Increasing make of butter con tinues a big surprise along the Paci fic slope.- During the weekend session of the produce exchange there was no change in the price list for cubes and a .similar condition was reflected on the. open market for both prints and cubes. Butterfat values are at least steady. Trading In the egg market showed generally Improved sentiment with late price advances more easily main tained. Here and thero some diffi culty Is shown in mslntainlng .values with underselling by producers to dispose of their supplies direct to retailers, -, The late weakness in the market for spring chickens appears to be subsiding somewhat. In fact some of the leaders of the trade suggest that a shortage will soon be shown with betterment In prices. Rather favorable demand for lamb Is showing along the wholesale way tor country killed offerings with some slight Improvement for mutton. While prices continue . low, the movement of tomatoes has been con siderably sided by the sharply lower prices lately forced. The big move ment from hothouses Is .said to be nearly over., The Dalles Is shipping a' slightly groat amount of hothouso with next week's movement sched uled to .be heavier.-- ..V--. , . Some Improvement was noted In the - weekend demand - Jot strawber ries and a slight, rise in' price re sulted. .Raspberries' were In better call - and- even . loganberries 1 -have started to show some movement. Thero is. a scarcity of quality head lettuce at. the moment with prices steady to firm for the best avail able.:. In fact all lettuce is finding an improved -.call. .- - , SUGGESTS SPECIAL SESSION TO CHANGE AUTO LICENSE LAW (Continued From Page One) farmersmerchants, laborers and oth ers are unable at this tlnfe to pay tneir xtm year's license fee required on their motor vehicles. As a con sequence, many of them will bo un able to continue their present lines of Industry. The situation la one that In my mind Justifies drastic legislative action. Therefore I am proposing that there be held a spe cial three-day session of the legisla ture to enact a law providing that motor vehicle fees may be paid in quarterly installments and also mak ing Borne reasonable reductions In the amount of fees; that the public spirit or the legislators be appealed to for the elimination of all employes and clearlcal help during tho session, the minimum or such aid as Is necessary be furnished by state officers whoso own work might bo to some extent hold temporarily In abeyance. Officers Should Wait "In the meantime, If the session bo called, the law enforcing officers should wait until the legislature can act, although no one has an author ity to dcclaro what Is called a mora torium. Qf course only the legisla ture Itself could limit tho length of the session or Its expenditures, but no doubt the members would rtec to the emergency." Senator Eddy stated that If the spe cial session Is called by tho gov ernor, extreme care should be taken In enacting a new license law. It Is not practical, In his opinion, to. ro- dilco fees to a point where tho state highway bond retirement program would be affected, and In view of tho federal taxes on gasoline there Is lit tle possibility of adding a further tax for state purposes. It is also neces sary, ho thinks that the state high way compassion be furnished with sufficient funds to carry on emer gency relief work during the coming fall and winter. He believes, however, that a provision enabling auto ve hicle owners to pay licenses quarter ly would result in Increased revenue to tho state And would at the same time greatly benefit the motor vehicle owners. Reconituetions Cause The precursor of every great pe riod of social and political recon struction hns Invariably been, as John Stun ft .Mill has pointed out. "a great change In the opinions and modes of thinking of society."

Recently sales on the open market have been as low aa 2c lb. with a general 3c top. Now market prices have advanced to as high a j fie with occasional sales of selected stock fic lb. The sharp advance Is duo to the sudden appear ance of the canners In the market Just at the time when everyone thought they had quit. New pea crop Is just coming on In local sections and the advances will be welcomed by growers generally. Shipping demand has been good during recent days but the volume of sales has been held back by the tem porary scarcity of tho telephone variety. OMAHA SHEEP OMAHA, June 25 P (U. S. D. A.)
