I BUTTER PRICES COT
A!! Grades Weak and Further
Decline in Sight.
fNCREASES MADE STEADILY
California Product Is Offered Here
6 Cents Vnder Local Quotation.
Tinrgc Surplus to Be Han
dled This Season.
Ti3 butter market Is on the ove of the
usual Spring decline. In fact, decided prog
ress toward a lower level was mfedo yester
day morning, when the city creameries sent
out their wagons with a generally lower
Tango of quotations. Pome of them cut
prices '2 and 3 cents. One of the leading
'ity brands, -which for sev eral weeks has
been quoted at C4 cents, was offered to the
retail grocers in prints, usual quantities, at
SI cents. It will be a day or two, probably
before all the creameries are again at a
uniform price, which, in view of the weak
ness of the market, will necessarily be
lower.
The make of butter in steadily Increasing
nd there is now, and for several days has
been, a surplus on hand in this city. A
few of the creamery men are still talking
.scarcity, in order to hold up prices, but the
course of the market is against them.
Another important factor in depressing
trlces at this time is the acute weakness of
the California butter market. At San Fran
cisco last Saturday the top grade of cream
cry butter was offered at T.l cents, according
to wires received by produce men here.
Yesterday, on the San Francisco Dairy Ex
change, the same grade of butter w as
quoted at 27 cents, a drop of 3a cents, al
lowing for the customary differential over
exchange prices required by shippers. Dur
t 1ng the day, California butter was offered
to the local trade at 2S cents, laid down.
None was taken, so far as known, as buyers
re not disposed to load up on outside butter
on a rapidly falling market, but it is prob
able that California holders will consign
to this market during the latter part of the
week.
The break in California butter is a reflec
tion of the decline in the Eastern dairy
produce markets. The East for some time
past has been drawing on California for
supplies, but with the readjustment of East
ern prices on a lower plane, that demand
was checked.
All indications point to an unusually larsre
production of butter in Oregon this season,
an3 steps are now being taken to handle the
surplus to the best advantage. The Oregon
Co-operative Dairy Exchange will soon be in
operation, and will be in a position to take
care of the excess product of the co-operative
creameries, while the butter board to
be established by the city trade should go
a long way toward fixing actual market
values.
WHEAT BIDS ARE SHARPLY REDUCED
Local Quotations Are Cut In Response to
Break at Chicago.
Business in the wheat market yesterday
was practically at a standstill. No trading
for Eastern account, which of late has been
the mainstay of the market, was reported.
and there was no demand from any other
quarter.
At the Merchants Exchange all bids were
reduced in response to the break at Chicago.
The declines, as compared with the preced
ing day. ranged from 1 to 3V4 cents, with
bluestem and red wheat the chief sufferers.
Argentine wheat shipments for the week are
estimated at 2,400,000 bushels.
The wheat acreage of India Is placed at
8O.2"J7,0OO acres, compared with 32,230,000
acres last year.
English wheat dealers want the British
government to take steps to secure the
North American surplus before drawing ok
Argentine and Australian supplies. The
London correspondent of the Northwestern
Miller writes:
"For a month the value of breadstuffs In
this country lias shown very little change
on balance, as operators are not disposed
to take any risks on either side of the mar
ket. The notable increase in the quantity
afloat for the United Kingdom gives en
couraging evidence that the government haj
the situation in hand, the only drawback
bf ing the absence of information as to the
exact quantity which will be available for
market purposes.
"It is suggested in some quarters that II
would be wise for the government depart
ment responsible to concentrate the whole
of the spare tonnage at North Atlantic
ports, in order to obtain a good supply from
America and Canada in a much shorter time
than it would take to draw upon Argentina
and Australia. The Argentine and Austra
lian crops could be bought by the British
government and held until it was convenient
to send tonnage to carry them.
"It is pointed out that this would secure
a large accumulation in the United Kingdom
during the next two months, from which
the trade could draw as required until the
Australian and Argentine wheat was ob
tainablc. How far this plan will commend
itself to the government authorities remains
to be seen, but in the meantime there is
an improvement in the position of supply,
and traders are inclined to await further
developments.'
Terminal receipts in cars were reported

a rupture with Germany and additional com

MARSHFIELD, Or.. April 13. (Sp
clal.) J-T. J. Brown, a special United
btates Land Commissioner, is investi
gating; the trail of the Puter brothers
eons of S. A. I). Puter, who three years
ag-o operated here and contracted with
a number of Coos Bay citizens to fur
nish them the location of valuable Ore
gron & California lands and place their
applications in the hands of the South
ern Pacific officials at San Francisco
In the form of a demand for purchase,
according to the requirements of the
law which granted the railroad lands
to the pregon & California Railroad
company.
The Puter brothers held out the In
ducement that the plan was legitimate
and would probably be successful in
either obtaining for the applfcants the
land before the forfeiture was settled
or afterwards from the Government.
Their general charge for this service
was $25. and the brothers spent more
money in the county than they received
Commissioner Brown has Questioned
about 15 who had contracted. During
tne time the campaign was on, S. A. J,
Puter was in "Washington, but visited

DRUG STORE LIQUOR SEIZED
Vire After Iiuid Destroys Most of
Prescriptions for Booze.
SEATTLE, Wash.. April 13. The
campaign against drug stores alleged
to be selling liquor unlawfully was
continued yesterday by the county au
thorities, who raided the James-stree
drug store and seized a stock of liquo
valued at $2500. Prosecuting Attorney
Lundin said druggists must be able to
show prescriptions for the amount o
liquor they have sold.
When an agent of the prosecuting
attorney began to examine the pre
ecription file of the J. J. Kelly drug
store, raided Tuesday night, he found
that a fire in the prescription counte
after the raid had destroyed more than
half of the prescriptions for liquor.

CHICAGO. April 13. Stock market weak

H to A fi lc; oats, to ?c, and provisions
to 17M;C.
feavy selling pressure was in evidence In
the wheat pit almost from the start. Rains
in Nebraska and sales of Canadian wheat
for shipment to Minneapolis had a bearisn
effect. Crop reports showed no improve
ment, but for the moment seemed to have
lost Influence to a considerable decree. Be
sides, lower quotations from Liverpool tend
ed to act as a weight on the market.
Corn Rave way with wheat and as a re
sult of the lack of shipping demand. Small-
ness of receipts failed to act as an offset.
Oats were part ly sustained by moderate
sale? to the seaboard. On the other hand.
progress in seeding continued to favor the
bt-ars.
Provisions advanced at first owing to tne
higher prices on hogs. Later, however, the
weakness of grain became too pronounced to
be ignored, and a reaction took place, with
packers, conspicuous on the selling side.
Leading futures ranged as follows:

CITY WATER PLAN OPPOSED
Vancouver Mass Meeting Objects to
Buying Private System.
VANCOUVER, Wash.. April 13. (Spe
cial.) The proposal fob the city of Van
couver to purchase the water system
owned by the North Coast Power Com
pany, issuing" bonds against the plant
to pay for its purchase, failed to re
ceive the indorsement of the mass meet
ing" of citizens last night.
More than 150 representative men of
the city were present and only two or
three were In favor of adopting the
plan when a vote was taken. Many
objections were raised, chief of which
was the fact that there is no necessity
for the purchase at this time and the
fact that the mains of the old plant are
in poor condition and will require near
ly $100,000 to placo them in first-class
condition.
