HOW BUTTER SOLO
Comparison of City and Coun
try. Prices in -1904.
THE FARMER PROFITED MOST
Small Decline In Local Quotations
From' the Preceding Year
Steady Revolution Going
On in the Trade.
A comparison of the butter prices Quoted 1b
the year Just closed 'by tho city creameries
and by the Front-street commlssiati. houses,
which handle the output of butter factories
located outside the city In territory tributary
to Portland, makes an interesting showing.
The average quotation for the best grade of
city-made creamery butter In that time has
been 27.6 cents, whereas the average price of
fancy creamery from plants outside tho city
has bees 25 cents. Portland creamery butter
in J 003 sold at an average of 2S.4 cents, state
brands at 26.2 cents. These figures show a
decrease in price of but .9 of a cent In local
butter and 1.2 cents in country creamery.
As is well known, Portland-made butter
commands a premium over state brands for
several reasons. Aside from the question of
quality, over which there is always a con
troversy, and which can best be left to the
various manufacturers to settle, the fact that
local butter la always freeh, that is, put on
tho market the same day it is churned, is a
strong point In its favor. Another advantage
that the local butter makers have is their
delivery system, which entitles them to some
extra remuneration. These and other reasons
have caused an Increasing trade in the city
product and a lessening of the butter busi
ness of Front street- So far as the commis
sion men are -concerned, the majority of them
aro not eorry for the change and a number of
them have voluntarily given up the handling
of butter, devoting all their attention to
other lines of produce. At the same time,
there is less business done by Portland firms
in supplying interior points, the country
creameries evidently getting more of their lo
cal trade. Just as the Portland creameries are
getting the city trade. It seems to be a
natural distribution and in the end should
be most satisfactory to all.
But the main point shown by the comparison
of average quotations, taken with the stabil
ity of city prices, is that tho farmer, more
than any one else, has profited by these con
ditions. Nearly every creamery in the state,
probably every one, has bought cream from the
farmer on the. basis of the highest Portland
butter price. "Whether or not they cent their
cream to this city, they were paid for it at
the top price quoted here. This may have
worked hard on some of the manufacturers,
but the dairy farmers of the state can have ao
complaint to make.
The range of" quotations of Portland extra
creamery butter In the year was as follows:
Cents.
January 1 to February 29 32'a
March 1 to April 18 30
April 10 to April 25 27?-
Aprll 20 to April -28 25

June 1 la Aumst 15 229
August 16 to September 4 25
September 5 to September 20
September 27 to Decembr 31 ...30
By these figures it will be seen that the
market stood at 32ic for 60 days. 30c for 145
days. 27c for 29 days. 25c. for 23 days, 22c
for fcU days and 20c for 25 days. In other
words, the" price was 30 cents or over for 205
days and under 30 cents for 1C1 Hays.
With an average price of 27.5 cents at Port
land, Seattle maintained an. average during
the year of 2S.25 cents for the best grade. At
Ban Francisco extra creamery averaged 23.5
cents in 1904 and 27.4 cents in 1903. a de
cline last year of 3.9 cents. Elgin butter was
G cents lower last year, averaging 21.7 cents
as compared with 21.7 cents in 1903.
Dairy butter in Portland has been in but
little demand In the past year. The price
averaged only 11.6 cents as against 19.6 cents
in 1903. Tho average price of store butter
was 12.6 cfnte In the year just closed and In
1903 it was 10.7 cents.

CAUSE SHARP DECLINES H
STOCK PRICES AT NEW YORK. '
Apprehension Leads to Throwing
Over of Securities Accumulated
- on Week' Rise.
NEW YORK; Dec 31. -There was a rather
marked revival of. apprehension of a success
ful attack upon stocky market values today,
caused by a renewed - proclamation of -dira
things tohappen next week by the same au
thority that upset the recent market. The
sharp dip in -prices of today was clearly assignable-
to the quiver of dread thus caused.
The day's trading was, in consequence, rather
animated, contrary -to expectations, as tho prin
cipal motive for holding a session was to bring
together the members for the annual new year
frolic which followed the session of -the ex
change. The spirit of uncertainty thus awak
ened induced considerable throwing over of
stocks accumulated during the week's rise,
and resulted in an. effective curtailment of that
rise. Amalgamated Copper showed ltsejf sen
sitive to the new threat to the market, but
that stock was supported In. the later dealings
and closed unchanged. ' The Pacifies were
notably weak, and were affected by the denla)
of a rumor set in circulation that the North
ern Securities decision bad been handed down.
United States Steel preferred was under pres
sure and showed poor rallying power, its fresh
decline In the late dealings contributing to the
Irregular closing'
The bank statement reflected only a part of
tho expected cash gain, but the shitting of
trust . company accounts and the annual set
tlements were to be reckoned "with as confus
ing Influences on the bank statement and tbs
showing was not an influence on stocks,
Neither was there anything-in 'the day's news
affecting properties to 'influence the operators
In the market. Total sales of bonds, par
value. $3,365,000.
Tho cloying week of the year had a cheerful
tone in Wall street. There has been a quiet
and steady uplift of prices, without signs of
feverlshness or speculative excitement, except
that .the trading showed considerable growth
of. animation toward the last by reason of the
encouragement caused by the advance. The
unsettlement due. to the sudden cojlapso of last
month largely subsided as the sensational fea
tures ot the campaign against prices were
eliminated. The news affecting property val
ues has been uniformly favorable The needs
or an uncovered short interest undoubtedly
played some part also In the. buying. But the
conviction seems well founded that the demand
was largely ot a more substantial character.
Investors were In the market in anticipation
of the resources which are to accrue to them
from the January disbursements ot profits,
which are to be on a scale unprecedented.
The easy tone prevailing ln the loan market
and the abundance of funds offering are aU
moat without precedent far the final week of
a year. The conditions of the money roarkeH
is the more remarkable in view of the out
ward movement of gold, which Is forced to
some extent by the inducements offered by the
foreign receivers. There is, besides, an active
use of money In the Interior commerce and in
dustry of the country. The undisturbed tran
quility of the money market as the period of
the rear end requirements approached nas
quieted all fears on that score an fostered the
belief that when the reflux of the funds to re
serve centers begins after the turn ot the
year, there- is likely tp be a rush of capital
Into Investment chancer.
Bonds have risen in price a less marked de
gree than have stocks. United States 2s reg
istered have advanced S. the a coupon aaa
the 4s per cent during the week.

SMALL BULGE IN WHEAT.
Numerous Fluctuation 'in the Chicoxo .

CHICAGO. Dec 31. A moderate" bulge In
Tvheat prices occurred' at the opening. The
cause was a fairly good commission-house de
mand .May was &c to &c higher at
11.13Q,1.14. The buying was partly the re
sult of continued heavy receipts in the North:
west, arrivals today being only half what they
were a year ago. Another factor Influencing
the situation, was a report that prospects are
good for a considerable decrease In the amount
of wheat on passage and fn the world's ship
ments. After Hay had advanced to 51.14,
a quick -reaction occurred on realizing by pit
traders, and the price declined tp $1.13
L13. On the break, however; the market
met with good support from a leader of the
bulls. Quick recovery followed. Prices were
given a decided upward impetus by news from
the "" Northwest.' where cash markets showed
unusual strength. Reports from Minneapolis
claiming big sales of flour were- an additional
bull Influence. May sold up to 3L14&
1.14.. closing J4c up at 41.14.
Liquidation In December option was the fea
ture of the trading In the corn -market. May
closed c "higher at 4543c
Strength of wheat had a steadying influence
on the oats markeL May closed unchanged

NEW .YORK. BANK. STATEMENT.
Shows Moderate Expansion la Loans, Cash
and Deposits.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31. The Financier says:
The official statement of the New York associated-
ban fen last week showed as the most
interesting features a moderate expansion In
loans, a small net increase in cash and a gain
In deposits. The expansion ot $9,277,000 in
loans reflects the temporary placing ot funds
which accumulated during the week as the
results of preparations tor the disbursement of
January dividends and Interest.
The cash showed a net increase of $919,600,
specie falling off $1,850,700, while legal tenders
Increased $2,770,300. The loss ot specie was
probably due to exports of gold to Europe and
to the Argentine Republic during the week,
while the gain In legal-tenders was most likely
caused by the receipts ot currency from the
interior, and possibly also the return to tho
banks of some portion of the holiday money
which had been expended In the previous
week. The deposits Increased to $9,333,600, the
gain very closely corresponding with the sum
ot the Increase In loans and In cash; there
fore the statement made a fairly good proof.
The required reserve was Increased $2,4S3,4C0
because of the gain in deposits; deducting
therefrom the net gain In cash left $1,563,400
aa the increase In surplus reserve to be $13,
6S3.425. against $12,574,625 a. year ago, and
$6,049,500 at the corresponding date In r902.
Computed on the basis of deposits less those of
$23,008,200 public funds, the surplus la 319,435,
475. The statement was doubtless made up
on rising averages fox cash, for the estimates
of the gala, hi this item, which were based
upon the traceable movements of money during
the week. indicated an Increase of about
$5,000,000; the. statement was, therefore, much
more favorable than that which was shown by
the official figures.
