Tlr will lit a declln of 4o pound la tha price of creaunry hutter again tomorrow morning In th .local markat. , Thl wlU put tha price of cube at 33o and printi at 34 Ho. Carton art a half cant above thl. The prioa of tmtterfat will b 340 a pound. rC. , i , A further drop of severe extent Is due In tha local butter marker within the next few days. A further slashing of prices is shown at California points and -unless the trade' of' the Pacific northwest takes heed at an early date, the southern trade, will be taking all the business. - This ts a mistake that the butter men of the Pacifio northwest have made an nually for many years and it begins to look as if they are going to repeat the performance this season. The mistake is not mad In the hope 'of getting more , of 'the- consumers' money, but to the idea that it will help the producer. This -is where the butter men err beeausa the holding up of prices at this time has the opposite ef fect from what they intend it should have. - V ''. t- BesT'creamer nutter, was quoted on the San Francisco market during the last 2 hours at 27o a pound. At this, time of the season there is only about Jo a pound difference between tlio i-uoted price and j tlm . actual selling Ugure, therefore California . butter, smt be landed here at this time at less than sue a pound for best quality. This la so tar below the actual quotation in effect here that it 4s startling. . Butter makers need to look into the situation more thoroughly. than theyhave heretofore. , SOME CALIFORNIA SALMON . Borne supplies of ' California salmon - are coming forward to the local market from the Sacramento. The stock is in good condition and is quoted firm at 203 a, pound, i'roasen Btock is scarce at 10c "' A very good movement' of Straw berries, is ?hown in the local market. Thfi carload which arrived yesterday, a portion of which whs unloaded 1 it this city, lias been well sold' at $3.23 Sf 3.50 a crate, according to quality. Another carload is due within a few days. - EGG CASKS VKKY. SCARCE There Is a great scarcity of second hand egg rases in the local market and in some instances an advanced 'price "ts ruling. The scarcity s due to the great er supplies that have been' marketed re cently. .'',,'. LOCAL CAULIFLOWER COMING Small shipments of local grown cauli flower aro being offered in the local trade. No. 1 stock is being held firm at $1.25 a dozen, while No. 2 ranges down to T5cu ASPARAGUS IS EASIER AGAIN " There is again ah easier feeling in the asparagus trade on account of the more liberal offerings from California. Salts were reported today generally at 6c to RVfcc a pound. Green grass brought the most . OIICKEN DKMA.M) IS LIMfTEp . A very limited demand Is showing for chickens In tha Front Btreet trade at this time. The weakness forced in the market at the closing of last week Is continued and there has been scarcely a movement during the first two days of the present week.

ONION GROWERS CUT QUOTATIONS TO FORCE A BIGGER MOVEMENT Old Crop I'oNllion Is 1'iiuxHnHy Poor Owing lot he Offerings of New Growth; Homo Are Wlllinj; to Sell Xo. I at CO Cents Per Hundred. A further put in the Price of onions is being shown at country point. While the iVjiifcdrrated Onion Growers' asso- elation l Htlll nominally ttuotlnir 6o cental for Its No, 1 stock f. o. b. country (hlnping polntft,. there is scarcely a move ment at thla fiirurr . f. Growers outside of the association -3 and It is stated some ' Inside of the organization -are now offering No. 1 slock down to 50c a cental, but even this haa scarcely helped matters. The sea son is now so late that there is no t-x- pet-tatlon- of any Improvement in me situation, -unless it tomes at the very end of the 'Crop year, or else something happens to the new crop In the earlier sartiona. The latter is now scarcely possible for several reasons. The chief one is that the crop is getting well on toward maturity; and then there are a number of Sections in various portion.! of the country that grow the early stock, and disaster is not likely to overcome all. With Hawaii now offering neW crop onions to this countrvt and some small shipments having already been made to California points, the outiooK lor oiu crop could scarcely be worse.

They are demanding inorca nd more a cheese that Is almost rubbery in, substance. The fresher , the cheese the more easy it has been to sell It recently.. This has caused all sorts of stomach complications within recent yeara, according to one of the most prominent physicians in the city. " ' Up to two year ago practically all the cheese sold in the markets of Port land and in. fact .all over the Pacific coast, was thoroughly cured. Then there appeared a famine In stocks of old cheese. The demand became so per sistent that some of the makers finally were forced to supply the wants of their customers. That is how the habit of eating fresh cheese became started In Portland. . . The taste -of tits- new cheese was eix tremely pleasing and It soon found a host of friends, .

Most of the business which passed was for the account of northern millers but a fractional lot of purchas e's was reported for local Interests. , The buying at this time is confirmed almost exclusively, to the club and as high aa 87 c track basis has been paid. The extreme strength of . the foreign markets is an Indirect aid to, the local situation, although local values are too close to an exporting basla to give exporters much leeway in buying. For that reason they are not inclined to take up ships for Ihe-eld.crbp because if they went after a cargo there ia a strong chance that they would b compelled to pay more money than the present market; ' . , ' ' ''' The government reporti Issued today showed the condition of winter wheat In the United States at 91.6 per cent or 11 per cent greater.

Fresh Cheese For Consumers sible Jo a manufacturer to market his uured cheese except In a very limited degree, because the public considered 1t old. The practice has grown to Buch an extent that it 1 a real menace to the health of all concerned: All effort to stop the practice of eating uncured cheese have failed up to this time.. Manufacturers aa a rule are adverse to marketing their product before it is really 'ready for market, but-they claim, that unless they give the public what It wants they might as well go out of business. ..... -if .... As a rule cheese is-not thoroughly cured for several months, Some makers consider two months as the nroper time for ageing their product but othera sa, that no cheese is fit to eat until fully three months after manufacture. During the last two yeara most of the cheese that has been marketed was but a-, few weeks old at the best: Charles Ray, one of the veteran cheese men of Tillamook, recently made the assertion that cheese that was not several months of age was unfit for food.
