BUTTER CREEK AND ROCK CREEK HOME OF ALFALFA HAY IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST TALK IS fil I X E I Both Sides Are Sore and Both Talk for Effect Scheme Is Too Large. ERR fiRAHIUIl I BUTTER CREEK AND ROCK CREEK HOME OF li Py Hvman H. Cohen. Thar has ht-en much controversy dur ing the paat two weeks regarding egg trading, quality and handling mostly coming from Interested parties on both Idea of the fence. Egg grading la certainly a necessity In all markets because of the mixed quality In which arrivals appear. Front tract handlora have been grading eggs for years hut not In the way prescribed by the local board of trade In Ha latest cruaadn. There la no market on the Pacific coast not even Including-San Francisco that can successfully grade all egg arrivals In throe or four grades It In Impossible not from the standpoint of Quality but because the markets are loo small to admit of such proceedings. It Is all well and proper to have a strictly fresh egg and an ordinary grade but this sort of grading has al ways been carried out here and Iiub proven Risuecess It Is the making of jnore grnries mat manes me new rumiK Impossible to carry forth In the lojul market. It Is Idle to presume that Front street 3oes not handle good eges for the etrcet has been the source of supply for almost the entire Pacific, northwest these many years and none can say th.it the peoplo have been eating unfit fond. There nre two sides to the contro versy regarding eggs. On one side are "rrayed the ones who handle eastern eggs entirely: the ones who handle them almost exclusively. On the other side you will find the commission men who do practically all their business In the local production. The handler of eastern stock finds It to his advantage to boost tho price cf local eggs of which he sells fen and In this manner gets most of th" trade, for In the Portland market prices generally tell. He will talk of the poor quality of the local product for the verv same rettson when ho knows full weft that a hen lays tho snmo kind of egg whether located in the east or west or over In the orient. The quality Is exactly the same. By crying down the quality of the local product and boosting up Its value In an underhanded way. the seller outBlde goods causes the local product to remain a drug on the market. Dur ing tho past week It was the custom of these handlers of easrtern stock in quote local eggs around 26 and 27c a dozen whon It was Impossible for those who received most of the actual local leggs to secure over 2Dc and a large per cent of the stock did not brin over 24o. This result can be seen h an examination of the books of the Front street housos. While the principal reason for out ride handlers to boost local egg values beyond their selling height was to rrct rid of their large supplies of eastern Rtok at a very handsome profit th.-.o was still another reason, ana ft strong one, too. For some time nn effort has Vieen made In some quarters to take away the egg trade from Front street and If the eastern handlers can get the uhlppcrs sufficiently disappointed itt their returns from Front street they will win out. In this attempt the boosters were aided by some newspapers likewise the board of trade. ?;ViJ' .'':'..; '.;;: . ':'Cf -J ft ' . 'jW' ' ' w n t ' t ;:;W-- ' ' " W(- '4'.

The advance of l'n a pound In the local creamery butter market during the past week was expected because It was fully Justified by local conditions. How ever, outside conditions are not of the lest and some makers put forth the ad vance with some mlsirivlugs for thev pave .had several tastes of trade loss In recent ve.ars simply because thev had advanced local values when outside conditions did not lustlfv it.

The fight Is over for and wheat buyers nt bidding one another so were during the first few weeks of the narvest. The. principal fight was between the millers and exporters- for control of the trade and while the differences are far from settlement at thts time, each side seems to see no i'lcnefiia to itself from , continuing the war and giving t lie profits to the producer. The fight was Mrnply the att.-mnt of a line of exporters to take most, of this year's crop nut of the omjntrv. while this stand was, of course,! op--posed by the millers, who saw in 'this mine export trade a diminishing of their own power. ! At first the trouble was in blurstetn ' because one of the exporters sold some' of this grade to foreigners while the millers believed the bin. -stem rhivild all remain at home because it was our best wheat. The result was that the rnlMors .ought the exporters when they at tempted to fill their orders and In this way sales of bluestern were made close to the dollar mark basis of Portland, 'if course only one or two sales were tnado at this extictne. but had the com petition continued many more transac tions would have been the result around sky-high values. I'uiitiR the past week cash wheat val ues began to slide downward and for the six davs they show a drop of fully ."c a bushel. ' Cash oats market Is very firm at hieher prices because of the small of ferings but there is some slight loss In the price of barley.
