Supplies' are beginning to accumulate along Front street, and handlers say they would be willing : to clean up for less. : City creamery Interests are mixed in their views as to the state of the market at this time. Some makers charge others with holding up the price of the fresh product fclmply to get more for their heavy purchases of eastern storage. This In turn is denied by the defend ants, who in turn say that they have more demand for fresh butter than they are able to supply at the moment -' In any event the situation is mixed with Front street handlers claiming that they have offered their surplus to city interests who will not accept it. Storage butter is now the principal factor in the market at this time. Ow ing to the scant supply of fresh make at tuis time of the year, creamery men say it would be impossible for them to remain in business unless they had out side stuff to 'sell. There is not enough fresh butter made in the state at this time to keep the creameries of Portland running full time, not-alone sufficient for all makers of the state. : . , OREGIH WEAKNESS GOSTSVHEATCENT Bids of All Are Reduced Here Today; Too1 Heavy La Platta Offerings. , "World's Wheat Markets Today t t Portland -Cash club 79O80e. blue- stem 8JW8SC.

V , " - 1 4T I I Spanish grown onions have entered the local market for the first time. A shipment was received this morn ing and was quoted by local receivers at 6 cents a pound. While onions from Spain hare been offered in the Puget sound markets for two seasons, this is the first time that supplies were sent here. - This Is probably due to the fact that Oregon grows the best onions in the country and therefore there is no real need of .importing supplies from other nations. - . . - - - It is stated that the Spanish grown onion is unusually sweet and, resembles in flavor that grown in - Bermuda. There is always a certain trade that will pay-a handsome price for an Im ported article even though it Is not as rood as - the home product. This .is done- simply in order to say that "we have Imported onions on our table." The notoriety always gives the prioe a boost. NORTHWEST BANK STATEMENT. Portland Banks.
