Kuut to aYoc wu. : w On Monday morning there will be a general advance M the price of butter to 84c, for cubes; This wllj make the price on that pack ; J4c a pound. Extra charge will . be made as usual for email prints 4 and delivery. An' advance of a half cent a pound Is being charged for beet creamery butter by some ' local . makers. The price therefore is as high as 85e for two i pound squares. s ', " The advance is not general but Is ex- fiected to be shown the first of the com ng -week. . . . ., . The make of butter locally Is de creased greatly and local ereamerymen state that they are experiencing consid erable difficulty in filling orders. According to a prominent m butter maker, the output of this product in Oregon the past season has been actu ally smaller than any normal season up to three or four years ago while. the demand has shown a heavy Increase. Country store butter is holding-firmer and while the average quality fails to bring more than 23 Wc a pound In the Front street market; something better will sell at a slight premium, ,; -..f; " " , " '.",;.; Cucumbers Too Plentiful. , Cucumbers are too plentiful In the local market at . this time and values are low. For, the larger sizes, hothouse stock Is selling at 36a to 60c a dozen and for the medium ones sales are generally at 80c to 26c f , Canned Milk Is Scarce. : Canned ml'k quotations are showing a further advance for some brands but the best known ones are still selling at 14.05 and $4.10 per case. There Is a great scarcity of supplies and further rises are expected. Chickens Move Slowly, Chickens showed a alow movement during the past 24 hours although few codps will e carried over.

Very dry weather is greatly affecting the hop crop of Oregon. Information to this effect- is being daily brought to this , city by growers and visiting aeaiers. 80 'far as present indications allow, the 1910 crop of hops In this state, will be of . excellent quality,, but ' there Is every Indication Just now that the size of the yield will be curtailed from the estimates generally given out by deal ers a short time ago, ' Then it was believed that the yield In Oregon this season would reach a total of 100,000 bales, but this esti mate Is now being cut practically 10 per cent by most dealers. ixaturaiiy. moss wno nave - nop con tracts at low prices are tearing down the estimates for the coming crop as much as possible, but at this time there appears to be some cause for their talk. With the exception of an occasional Inquiry front eastern brewers and from England, which has resulted in nominal business here recently, there has been nothing of Interest in the trade situa tion here during the week.
