toraffO of Butter Begins.'
' Storage operations In the butter mar
' 0
kt have started .for the season. The
trade is. so thoroughly convinced that
the bottom pries has been, reached 'that
already some of the larger makers are
swamped with orders. The demand for
storage is ren better than a year ago
..despite the financial situation.. Every

money on last season's input that all
are willing to try again. A year ago
' storas-a one rations were started on
"man scale April SO at 22 He a pound
but general operations did not begin un
til the market had made considerable
headway toward a higher range. Then
every . one wanted to store and the
greater the demand became the stiffer
the butter market became and the
higher price moved:--
Vortlana Lower! at Tola Tin.
The Portland butter market Is now
the lowest In the United States. In the
east prices have recently advanced and
nigner prices are me ruie in m nuri.ii
and In California markets. Portland
and nearby makers are already In re
ceipt of liberal orders for butter from
- Ptiret sound and ' Alaska points while
local. business is showing a volume that
is surprising to ail.
Wool Deadlock Continues. .
The deadlock between ' buyers and
sellers in the wool market is continued
and conditions are now more hopeless
ly mixed than before the season opened.
Manufacturers seem determined not to
outbid each other because of the
smaller demand for the manufactured
product and the lower prices ruling in
consequence. ..
"Because there Is no wool on hand
to scour, the Pendleton scouring mill
did not start May 1, and the date for
commencing operations is now said to
be Indefinite." says th Pendleton East
Oregonlan. "Owing to the deadlock that
is now on between wooigrowers ana
tdlcn nn wool whatever has been tur

Idaho Clip Promises Wall.
According to the "Wyoming Tribune
estimates now being made as to the
ire of the Wyoming wool clip indicate
that this year Wyoming will not only
exceed all previous records but it is ex
pected will pass Montana, which last
year was nip and tuck with this state
in Its total wool production, Wyoming
last year with a production of 33.600.000
pounds took the lead for wool In the
grease, but Montana's figures cn
scoured wool exceeded that of this
state.
This year the Idaho clip Is expected
to be at least J S, 00,000 pounds, and it
Is confidently ,xpected that this
amount when scoured will also exceed
the scoured product of Montana, Us
njnrfit rnmnetltor.
The average weight of an Idaho fleece
last year was 7. a pounas, wnne uiis
yesr la addition to the wool being of
longer staple and liner quality, me
weight will probably average close to
eight pounds. The advantage to the
sheepmen of the stste through this
gain alone will be readily seen.
Shad Boa I Increasing.
The run of shad in the Columbia Is
increasing and receipts here are heavier
with a slight decline In the price today.
Salmon market shows slightly better
run of chlnooks in the Willamette but
prices are still very firm because of
the small supplies In the lower Colum
bia.
lJressed meat market is Just about
taiv. alttinua-h some deslers renort
trouble In disposing of arrivals at trie
quoted rigures.
Brief Votes of th Trad.
While the receipts of strawberries
were fair today, the needs of the trade
for two days' consumption caused the
best fruit to sell a high as $2.25 a
crate. - ' .
Oregon asparagus is rather slow tn
arriving ami some stocks are Again
coming from California. Walla Walla
stock is of fins' quality but sises are
very small. . .
"The first Oregon-strawberries of the
season are reported In. from the Wil
lamette valley.
Cherries continue of poor quality and
sales - are made' at lower price. Best
down to $1.80, While some sell as low
as SOo.
Chlcatna are holding steady, although
there Is no decided tone to the 'market
either way. Prices same.
Eggs sre firmer with practically all
rales Of candled stock at 17 H today.
Coast chocolate and cocoa show an

To several peremptory notifications
that his testimony Is needed the prince
has turned an absolutely, deaf ear.
While he remains outside French ter

the French Judiciary to get him forci

there Is a possibility of trouble In

tractor, operating a stage line between
this cltv and Klamath Falls, and on ac
count of his business could not comply

failed to reside upon and cultivate the
land. The Lakeview land office ren
dered a decision tn favornf the defend
