PORTLAND. May 13. -Creamery
men say butter is moving in a salis
factory manner at the new price anil
it is understood that the quotation is
uniform in the city creamery trade.
There is a fair outside demand and
Shis make it possible to maintain the
Irceot price In the country cream
ery market conditions have changed
but little. The price range is 20c to
24c, but the bulk of the business is
done around 22c.
The crk market today was fairly
firm, quotations running from 18c to
19c, with some sales of single case
lats at 19 1-2 cents reported.
At the meeting of the Portland Pro
duce Merchants' Association last
night it was decided that beginning
this week all the Front street com
mission houses will dose their doors
oj 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. In
the past the bulk of the business done
in the market district on Saturday
has been done before 3 o'clock, only
scattering, belated buyers appearing
after that time. By a recent decision
I of the association the stores are no
" longer opened on Sundays.
fV The bulk of the berries that came
I fiv from the South today sliowed bet
ter quality than those of some dny9
past, and this was also true of Ore
gon offerings. But there -were some
inferior berries and it was hard to
move these at any price. The best
Californias were held at $1.50 to $1.75
s crate, while Oregons sold at 10c
to 12 l-2c a pound. Receipts of Cali
