BUTTER IDE
OREGON PUNTS
Small Increase Shown by J. D.
Mickle's Report.
CHEESE, CANNED MILK LESS
Outlook for Dairying: Industry Here
Is Excellent, According to
State Commissioner.
Oreg-on creameries macfe more butter this
$ear than In 1917, but the production or
cheese was lighter and ' the condensed milk
output also decreased, as shown by the t
tires Just compiled by J. D. Mlckle, Oregon
Dairy and Food Commissioner, for his an
nual report.
The outlook for the dairying' industry of
Oregon, Mr. Mlckle declares. Is excellent,
nd he predicts a great future for the state
in butter and cheese making, provided qual
ity Is the watchword, which will enable
Oregon to hold Its own In the markets.
Mr. Mickle's report, which is for the year
ruling October 1, 1918, shows the follow
ing results:
Butter Butterfat made Into butter, 11,
282,311 pounds; total creamery butter made,
33,Ko2,6!5 pounds.
Cheese Milk used for the manufacture
of cheese, 80,860,691 pounds; total cheese
manufactured, 8.719,220 pounds.
Condensed milk Milk bought by conden
seriea, 69,004,605 pounds; condensed milk
made in Oregon, 33.G68,902 pounds.
The number of patrons furnishing cream
to the creameries was 19.251, compared
with 20.053 In 1917 and 23,011 in 1916. The
number of patrons sending milk to cheese
factories was 1783, against 2311 last year
and lSo'2 In 1916. "TTi number of patrons
sending milk to condenseries was 2200, com
pared with 2t74 in 1917 and 1S90 in 1916.
There were used for Ice cream' and other
purposes 818.214 pounds of butterfat.
The extreme dry Summer, drouth, short
pastures and shortage of millfeeds due to
var conditions was largely the cause of
the shortage of dairy products in the past
fjrason. The butchering of a large number
of cows and the scarcity of farm labor also
helped to make the shortage in milk prod
ucts noticeable.
While the report shows a slight Increase
In the production of butter and. a decrease
in the production of cheese and condensed
milk, it is not altogether indicative of the
present status of the dairy industry, for
the reason that the heavy dispersal of dairy
.:ows occurred onJy In the last few months
covered by the report and In the laex
months not included.
The increase in the butter output is ac
counted for by the closing of a number
of cheese factories and condenseries, which
made butter Instead.
Oregon's production of butter, cheese and
condensed milk the past four years was

Ralls and Other High-Grade Shares
Decline During the Closing
Hoar of .Session.. 1
NEW TORK. Dec. 19. Trading In se
curities during the greater part of today's
session was dull to the point of stagnation,
tbe stork market itself being most often
overshadowed' by further persistent liqui
dation of liberty bonds.
This condition preceded a sudden trans
formation in the final hour, when heavy
selling of high-grade shares, notably rairs,
swept over the stock market, effecting extreme-reversals
of 2 to 4 points.
The outpouring of transportation Issues
was unaccompanied by any explanation other
than a statement Issued by Director-General
McAdoo, which again emphasized the
possibility of extending Federal control over
the railroads to five years. Sales amount
ed to 400,000 shares.
Transaction. In liberty bonds attained
enormous proportions, the fourth 4s con
tributing more than their usual quota at
the new low record of 94.72. This repre
sents a- depreciation of about 3, per cent
from their Initial quotation on tbe stock
exchange.
Various theories were advanced In ex
planation of the further break In the Gov
ernment's latest war flotation, these bear
ing mainly on the cash requirements of
corporations and institutions early In the
coming year.
This .theory lacked plausibility, however,
as call loans were plentiful at 4 to 4 V per
cent, and long-time funds were freely of
fered at 5 per cent, a alight reduction
from the ruling rate of the past month.
Traction bond issue, were heavy with
liberty bonds, but the international group
held steady. Total sales, par value, aggre
gated $20,500,000.

Italian throne, the Prince Piedmont,
and a small personal guard, arfived
in Paris today. A warm welcome was
given the Italian monarch by Presi
dent Poincare. Premier Clemenceau and
the other ministers, and the throngs
in the streets acclaimed him vocifer
ously as the procession left the station
and went to the Italian Embassy.
This evening the Kinsf paid a visit
to President Wilson at the ' Murat
mansion. It had been expected that
Victor Emmanuel and President "Wil
son would meet for the first time at
the luncheon to be friven in honor of
the Kine by Stephen Pichon. the French

they would a grain come together, and
possibly find time for conversation, at
a dinner to be given at the Italian tm
bassy by- the King to the President
Friday evening.
The visit of the King took place al
6 o'clock. The conversation between
the monarch and the President," which
is said to have been most cordial, lasted
half an hour. Premier Orlando and
Foreien Minister Sonnino will meet
President Wilson at H o'clock tomor

and government he was very glad to
be able personally and officially to
invite President Wilson to be his guest
at the Quirinal. and that he had been
requested by Queen Helena to extend
the same invitation to Mrs. W ilson.
Notwithstanding the unpleasant
weather, with its squalls of cold rain
and wind, crowds gathered along the
route from the station to the Embassy
to greet the fourth ruler who has
visited France In the past fortnight. So
dense were the crowds that many were
unable to get a glimpse, of the King
and heir apparent. As the salute of
101 guns was being fired the King and
Prince of. Piedmont were cheered
loudly. President Poincare and the
French Ministers also were enthusias
tically applauded and often forced to
