BUTTER WILL DROP
Conditions Ripe for Another
Change in Prices.
LOCAL SITUATION IS GOOD
Bnt Sharp Decline in California
Prices Will Brlnjc This Market
Down Course of Values
In Previous Years.
Thr will probably be a decline In local
butter prices In the n?xt few dayr The
market is jrrowin weaker and It 1 evident
that the current prtces cannot be maintained
lone. The demand continue fairly a-ood and
thourh production is increasing there Is not
muh surplus on hand, but the sharp drop
In the California market has affected the
ettuation here. Creamery butter has been
teadily declining at San Francisco and on
the eiehana-e yesterday was quoted at 2
cents. With the Portland market standing
at 3S cents It has been impossible for local
handlers to jtet into th Sound market.
This was what caused the 2 -cent drop in
Portland prlres on March 1. In the mean
tfrr.a Ban Francisco haa fallen 3 cents and
a considerable quantity of the California
product hras been shipped to thin market.
More Is on the way and in order to meet
the competition Portland prlrea will come
down.
City creamery butter and the best jrrades
of country creamery were quoted yesterday
at 35 rent. a year a jo the same price
quoted and the market fell to ita low
est point, 22H cents, on April 30. Two years
;o on this date butter sold at $0 centa and
on April 23 had dropped to 20 centa. On
March . 1SKI,V the city quotation ai 32W
centa and the lowest price was 20 centa on
April 22. Four years airo butter sold at this
date at 30 cents and on May 7? 1104, waa at
30 centa. Conditions in the present year
make It difficult to forecast the exact
course of the market, but It Is evident that
very low prices will prevail in the flush
seairon. .
FI.ENTY OF ORANGES ON THK WAY.
loren Cars Are Headed for Portland Truck
Moves Hell.
Local orange stocks are now low, but will
be replenished tn a few days, an a dosen
cars are rolling. mot of which wilt be in
this week, two of them due today. There
l a good demand for oranges and it is not
probable this large movement will affect
oricee. unless more are ordered. The lemon
market in California Is strengthening an sup
ples are being worked off.
A car of mixed vegetables and one of celery
irrtved yesterday and a car of cauliflower is
flue today. Rhubarb is more plentiful and
la quoted at 10 centa a pound. Asparagus
U firm at 2!N cents on a hlghrr market In
California, owing to cold weather.
Two care of Oregon onions were reported
w!d yesterday by arrow-era at 12.40 and 12.50.
Only a few cars are left In the state and
most of these are held at 1.1. A part of the
recent shipment of Japanese onions haa been
moved at $3.SO to the trade.
San Francisco Utm Alaska Egg Trade.
Seattle and Tacoma merchants have been
buying egg In Pan Francisco for several daya
fnr shipment to Alaska. -v The Portland trade.
In the meantime, held the price up and also
held ite eggs. The result was a large accu
mulation of ntork yesterday and a very weak
market. Pome dealers were asking 18 cents,
but others were selling at 17 and 17 cents.
A further decline in price is likely.
There were practically no poultry arrivals
yesterday and as none were carried over rrom
Saturday, prices were more or lens nominal.
A continued good demand Is looked for this
week.
Heavy Shipment of Kantn C lam Prunes.
There Is a firm feeling In prunes at ship
ping points in thts state and Washington,
owing to the reduced stocks, and Eastern
idvtces report the market there steady but
quiet.
California prunes, however, are quoted
easier at New York and concessions are gent-rally
necessary to effect Kales. This feeling
nf weaknesa has been accentuated by the
prospective arrival of 102,000 boxes of. Cali
fornia prunes on the 'steamer Mlssourian due
about March 13 from San Francisco. Thie
is one of the largest cargoes ever shipped
test, and. while the goods go to strong
holders, there Is some feeling of uncertainty
as to tlie effect of this block of goods on
the market. A large share of the stock is
aid to be consigned to one holder.

STOCKS IN DEMAND
Outside Inquiry Fed by Pro
fessional Traders.
QUICK TO TAKE PROFITS
This Does Not Chck the Advance,
as the Supply on Offer I Small.
The Pay's News 13
Mostly Favorable.
NEW YORK, March . The conservative
views held by professional operstom in stock
over the Improvement In conditions underlying
values of securities were Indicated by their
action today following the fharp advance
which occurred in prieea on Saturday. There
waa evident haste to reach such profits as
were afforded by the over-Sunday demand for
atocka. attracted by Saturday' advance, and
the trading started off at 2o0,000 shares. The
second hour's1 business, however, dropped to
below 90.000 shares and midday found prtces
dragging again nt about Saturday's closing
level.
With the outside demand thua fed and
professional holdings correspondingly light
ened, there waa some resumption afterward
of operations for the advance. The demand
was not large, but the floating supply of
stoeka waa found to be light again, and
prices were put up without encountering for
midable obstacles.
- There waa no striking new development in
the news. Slight improvements reported by
railroad traffic officials were mentioned with
out enthusiasm. Advices from the Iron and
steel Industry were encouraging, and further
resumption among mills In that trade was
reported. Copper enjoyed a wide rebound In
London and the price of that metal here waa
more firmly held.
International bankers report that the easing
course of foreign money markets is throwing
some inquiry for Investment into thla market.
This is confined, as yet, to high-grade mort
gage securities and to some extent to pur
chase of mercantile papr tor account of for
eign hanks, the rates prevailing here making
an attraction compared with declining money
rates at home. This development la con
sidered of importance, considering the large
new issues by corporations which, are known
to confront the New York money market. The
foreign exchange market today was suggest
ively weak. In aptte of the lessened shipments
of grain to outward ports, which was a fea
ture of last week. The low reserve of grain
reported In farmers hands by the Government
experts, whose figures were made public dur
ing the day, shows to how large an extent
the export of our surplus supplies hss already
been made In the rush to meet our financial
necessities following the panic. The -rise in
prices was firmly held to the end.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value,
2,398.000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.
