COAST AND EASTERN DAIRY PRODUCE Butter Market Conditions at .Leading Dis N tribation Points. Eastern and San Francisco trade reports received by wire yesterday at the local of fice of Uie Bureau of Markets: San Francisco Prices declined another cent today, with trading largely confined to local exchanges. Some falling off In lo cal consumption is reported, which is af fecting somewhat the movement of goods. A number of inquiries from the outside are reported, which will probably result in the sale of considerable butter for boats leaving tomorrow. Receipts yesterday amounted to S9.9J3 pounds. Street stocks were nearly 14,000 pounds heavier this morning; 93-score, 50 cents. Chicago An unsettled and weak market rules here today. Considerable difference of opinion is noted among dealers. Con sumptive demands have undoubtedly fallen off seriously in the past two weeks, and this, together with the break in prices, has caused buyers to stay off the market almost en tirely, depressing the situation still fur ther. However, no serious accumulation is apparent as yet, and receipts, while a trifle more liberal, are not at all heavy. Cars of centralized are short and selling readily at quoted values. More centralized is being delivered to this market in small lots in order to reach a quick sale. Receipts to day were 9509 tubs; 92-score, 62 cents. New York market closed account of lo cal holiday. 1 EX AM AT H FARMERS ARE BUSY Soli Conditions Improved by Rains Small . : Tractors Purchased. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., March 25. (Spe cial.) The last few days of clear weather have dried the ground. Many farmers are working in the fields. The heavy rains dur ing February and the first weeks of March have put the soil in better condition than at anv time for several years back and the crop prospects of Klamath county, both for the dry land farmer and his neighbor under Irrigation are very bright. Many of the farmers are investing in small tractors, finding that this method is very practical here where the working sea son is short. - Eastern Egg Market. CHICAGO. March 2."V.
