THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1918. 19 BUTTERMARKET IS SHOWING BROCCOLI IS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY Quality Below Average and Lack of Adequate Transportation With Low Priced California Stuff Are Factors in the Trade. This bM be mod disastrous wlon for til broccoli, or wintr eauUflowsr growers. Not only hM the Mmion bm f ary poor for the quality of this etabl, bat the pries hu been somewhat below the ersTsf com of production. This is especUIlr true of the sections thst here been markstin their crop in crmtes. the eoet of the packet beipg almost half as great as toe tatal sun rtceittd by the shippers. Absence ; of a suitable eastern market ' for broccoli baa been the demoralizing feature of spe cial interest Even the - small demand shewn could not be supplied because, first of ,all, there was an extreme sheruge and delays in trnpor tation, and then again the stock did not bold up aa well as Usual for long distance shipment. Then again, the California competition with the heap quality staff, ruined practically every mar. ket in tte eountry. Growers nearby are now marketing their prod uct by thedozen, and sales are shown along front street at 60 to .7 3a a dozen, according to quality, while on the farmers' market sales have been coade down to 3as a doaen. .

' AGENERALLYDOWNWARDTREND BUTTER MARKET IS WEAKER AND; LOIR PRICES NOW EXPECTED Local Trade Influenced by the Down ward Trend of Values in California Makers Are Inclined to Blame Each Other, Market for butter Continue to gather weak- nets, and a further drop in the price of city prints it momentarily expected. With th latest drop la the California market the trad in tabes here la even weaker than previously, -and 84 a now appears to be the top of the market .for state extras. Is fact California Stock in cubes can bo landed berg at 6 smaller priea than that. Blame of th proaent congestad condition of the butter market 1 planed ou the heads of both the city and country creameries, eaoh being in clined to Usms th other. Country -creameries assert that the bringing in Of liberal supplies of butter front other states by city creameries is not necessary, and Jad vary depressing effect upon th trade here. On the other band, tba city creameries are just as positivo that the country makers am to blame for the congested condition; They stat that the country creameries held the price of their cubes so much higher than other market wr quoting that it waa absolutely necessary to go elsewhere for their requirements in-order to meet competi tion. As one creamery man placed the matter. "Th price of butter here is merely what all other markets of th country are quoting, freight charges considered. If there is shortage her and other place hav a surplus, it would mean that supplies would com from th plao where the surplus exists." PACIFIC , COAST BANK STATEMENT Portland Bank This week.

KEEN STRATEGIST- ' .COMMANDS ALLIES (Continued from Page One) Arras and it is due to their presence that the renewed German activity al ready reported was possible. It is plain from the exchange of mes sages among the German military chiefs and the statesmen in Berlin that they are none too well satisfied with the re sults to date. The promises of a "peace by the sword" have been emphasized so. that now all Germany expects it. The consequence is that Hlndenburg 1 com pelled to continue his efforts to break through and to risk hla best reserves In endeavoring to maintain tbe offensive in hla own hands. All of this Is most costly in men and materials and must inevitably redound to the benefit of the allies. There was little news today of Ameri can participation in the battle. General March, tbe new acting chief of staff. has taken all possible steps to prevent any military information leaking at the present time. He Is well pleased at the outlook and insisted again today that the German advance will be com pletely crushed and their forces thrown back on their own lines. There waa deep Interest here today in the Italian situation. Military experts and officials at the Italian embassy look for the launching of a new of fensive against Italy in the very near rur-ure. Austrian reserves intermixed witn uermsn units are ready to ad vane, according to the official infor matlon reaching this city from Italy. - L. B. Gorham Dies Oregon City. March 29. Leonard B.
