, . Alaska Taking Our Batter.
The butter market Is In a very firm
position, according to M. Mortensen of
tne Jiazeiwooa company, orders rrom
Alaska are pouring, into Portland in
larger - volume than ever before and
-from - present Indications Portlaid will
. gst-av larger slice of Jlub JiotUiern bust
ness than in previous years, "this re-
1 marKabie statement is likewise made by
Mr, Mortensen. The Puget sound cities
-are also very heavy buyers of our
' creamery butter' at this time and "while
some of the stock is going into storage
intra, we recent oceans ; in price nas
been a wonderful aid to consumption.
Practically all the butter now being
manufactured in Oregon Is finding a
demand for consumption in fact storage-
oraers will nave to wait until the tree a
demand Is curtailed. While the produc
tion of butter is increasing the output
la not as heavy as the demand and prac
tically all city creameries say they are
short
Outside Batter Is jr Inner.
' There is a like improvement in the
tone of outside butter with receipts
here nat any greater-than demand at
current prices. While for a day or so
it looked as If some of the outside
makers would cut their quotations a
fraction; the present tone is so firm
that quoted values are easily main
tained. Cheese supplies are showing consider
able Increase locally but the market la
absorbing arrivals to a degree that the
traue had not expected and for that
reason prices are holding rattier steady.
Xiok on Commission Charges.
f 'The handler of an outside creamery's
j product is making considerable . com
; plaint over the proposed action In ad
3 vanning commission charges on butter
to 10 per cent. "This is more money
j than the makers themselves are receiv
I Ing," says this handler, "and I for one
j do not intend to advance the commla
j slon. I believe it ls-merely the scheme
of a few small handlers of butter and
one or two city creameries who by thin
I method intend to drive the country
creameries out of the Portland market.
j A 30 per cent commission would surely
uo mis.

On the Portland board of trade today
there was another advance nf lc h.

the sharp advance today in Liverpool
ana in unicago.
Bluestem went to 90c a bushel, and
even at this figure the small available
supplies are hard to land. Practically
all the wheat remaining is held by the
big producers who are in a position to
hold until they see no further hope of
a rise, rne San Francisco market was
advanced, owing to the same reason.
Editor Leo Peterson of the Portland
