While local co-ops were reported holding for 21c dozen for extras, all others In dicated a 20o top for that grade. In spots the market for butter looked higher here as a result of greatly Increased consuming move ment of late. Today production. while more than seasonable, was not holding up so well. Indicating the futility of trying to establish proper quotations on the Portland produce exchange based up on supply and demand Is reflected in the weekly review of the cheese trade. The late decline in .price on the local exchange was utterly out of line with what was happening in practically all other ports of the country, the survey shows. Instead of lower prices, as named on the local exchange, higher prices were generally forced elsewhere with the government.
