Greet Scarcity of Butter.
At the advance of 2o a pound In
price a week ago, the creamery butter
market is more than holding: Its own
The market today Is firmer than during
any recent period. Supplies are so short
that a famine almost exists In this ter
rltory. The tone of the market Is so
pood thnt It is uulto Dosslblo In fact
whiit Is usually the exception Is now the
ruie una any sort of manufacture
whether city make or outside make
known or practically unknown brands
lire bringing the top figure. The truth
of the matter ls, demand for butter Is
lully twice us ETent ns supplies and
even the farm-made product is bringing
wiinin ;i traction or two or the Dest
cltv make. While some Interests are
talking: of an advance In prices for the
cnrnlnK week, others are discouraging
the idea because? they cay the price Is
already higH for this time of the year.
A ear ago today butter was selling at
27 Wi' a pound, or 2'4r under the figure
ruling hi stiffly today. For this day
two years ago the price of best city
rreamerv was 21 'fcc ;i pound and a year
previous to that 22e. It will there
fore lie noted thnt today's price of but
ter fs tin' highest In four years.
Efrff Fig-ht Much of Mystery.
The fiht between various Interests
In the eng market is much of a mystery
although on occasions in previous years
the same sort of condition has ruled.
Quality is what counts and If a shipper
ban something select he Invariably gets
the best price while a shipper of poor
duality elways complains of the re
turns. rule to some extent tne pres-
nt fight is the -result of the importa
tion of eastern stock, there is a growing
call for something better than the stocK
which has been generally orfered es
pecially during the heated term, when
it Is nigh Impossible for some shippers
to get their supplies to market In rlrst
class condition because of the unavoid
able delay in making shipments and get
ting supplies to store.
Finn Tone in Chickens.
While, there Is nothlns of an excitable
nature In the poultry situation at the
moment the market is showing a dispo
sition to firmness and values are show
ing full recovery from the low point.
Along the street todav while there was
the usual small Monday poultry trade,
the market was firm around 13 and
14c for chickens and 16 and 17c for
broilers ami frvers.
Tomato Market Za Very Firm.
In the tomato market there Ifl quife a
rrai'i itv of supplies a ml prices are do
ing better than during the previous
week. Shipments while small owing to
'he lat" rains, are showing better color
r.nd quality than expected and prices
are generally ranging around $1 a hox
although once in a while a slightly bet
ter figure Is obtainable for something
select.
t'antaloupe values are very much
mixed owing to the same condition as
regards quality. Some late arrivals
from The fa lies are bringing close to;
Up-quoieu jigures. I
There is a very firm tone ruling In
watermelons although supplies are quite
good along the street, prices are today
ranging around 1 l4c for loose lots and
the usual 25c advance for crated stock.
Brief Notes of tha Trade.
Local cabbage Is unusually scarce
and the small supplies are selling quite
rradify at 2 He a pound with California
stock bringing 2c.
Pressed meat market is firm.
Steelhead salmon catch in the Colum
blt. is quite small and practically no
chinooks are now being brojight to the
IncaJ merket from there. At the mo
ment the market Is supplied with this
grade firm the northern roast streams.

that killers are frantically offering a
higher range of values In order to se
cure sufficient supplies to fill the want
of their trade. The price of best east
of the mountains hogs has been ad
vanced to 17 and even sf this figure
the trade is over anxious to secure
what few head that come. Even the
ordinary run of hogs Is today easily
worth J6.76 and will bring that figure
for some time from present indications.
"There Is a demand for several times
as much stuff as Is now coming," say
Secretary Plummer today. "While
present prices are high, the Indications
are that values will hold up for some
time. This Is the time to ship, however."

There Is a much firmer tone to the
hay market locally owing to the very
scant offerings by the producers. But
nominal arrivals are noted at the mo
ment and some buyers are offering a
fractional advance. Press of farm work
Is one factor toward holding back ar
rivals but generally speaking producers
are waiting to see which way tne marnei
price Is bound.
Cash oats are showing but small
movement although prices offered by
buyers are not far out of line of sellers'
demands.
Barlev is firm for cash with prices
slightly advancing In some quarters.
Flour market prices are very firm be
cause of the high price of cash Wheat
occasioned hv the fight between export
ers and millers but trade Is not very
extensive. A small amount is passing

Last week, because of Mr. Lawson's campaign, the
volume of stork operations have mounted to enormous
figures.
Each day, Bay State, the stock which is supposed to
be the foundation one of his campaign, was traded in
4 (O.oOO shares, or an aggregate of over 2,000,000 Jri both
markets, breaking all records for volume. At the same
time Mr. Lawson's Yukon, First National Copper, Trin
ity ajid Lawson's Mexican, under tremendous activities,
advanced 50 per cent.
Owing to the fact that our Mr. Clapp has been Mr.
Lawson's private secretary for the past 10 years, and is
vice-president of his Mexican properties, and to the act
that our house is the only one Mr. Lawson has ever al
lowed the use of his name in securing business, we have
done an enormous volume.
We are prepared to execute orders in all of Mr. Law
son's stocks and all stocks listed on the New York and
Boston Stock Exchanges and Curbs. W hile Mr. Law
son's invariable rule is to treat impartiay all stock ex
changes and responsible curb houses in all of his cam
paigns, and while he refuses to recommend any particular
house, we have his permission to use his name as our
reference.
