Heavy bene are easily eoromanding 2 Ho a pound now. Express Company : Cause of Extreme Price of Poultry Because v of Delay ;.! ' By H7ma.11 H. Cohea That the express company is to blame for much of: the present shortage of poultry and extreme prices thereof is the opinion now expressed by some of the leaders of the trade. Appeals of the country shippers for coops in which to ship live 1 poultry to the Portland market were quickly answered by the local trade. I Some or tne shipments were made about a week ago and have not yet reached their destination. The average journey by train is less than a half day. Special telephone messages came for ward during the day from the shippers asking why the coops had not been sent forward, as the poultry was awaiting shipment to market. This is one of the many instances where the wholesale trade is blamed for the shortcomings of the railroads and express company. . The consumer must pay more for his supplies because of these delayed .ship ments and the chances are that when the stock finally arrives the country shipper will find the holiday already past. . GRANGE PRICES BEING SIIADEI) Price of oranges is being generally shaded by the trade Just after everyone was beginning to , believe tHkt values would bold high, for some lima.

COWS That the food administration b again letting down the bar so that the eonauaser can be squeezed by any manufacturer of butter that might want to play the game unfairly, as lncu- eated by the latent circular issued through tha office of W. K. N swell. A miximum profit of 5 a pound over th actual cost of the butterfat at the creamery ia allowed aad may be taxen aa vantage of. The circular of tha food administration reads Kale 2 The manufacturer of hotter shall not sell butter at an advance over the cost of butter fat necessary to produce a pound at butter ot mora than Be per pound of batter, except en sales through branch houses or-sale to retailers in leas than car lota as hereinafter provided. Example If the cost of butterfat aa defined below as 60c per pound, and eight pounds of butterfat are necessary to produce 10 pounds of butter "th cost 'of butterfat necessary to pro duce the butter" would be 40c per pound of but ter and the maximum selling price for manufac turers aa above provided would be 4 So per pound. The cost of butterfat necessary to produce pound of butter shall Include: 1. The actual price paid to the producer of butterfat. 2. The actual cost of station buying labor, or commission, and all other buying expenses, but in no case shall the manufacturer pay more than 8 c per pound butterfat for such labor, com missions and all other buying expensea, except that the manufacturer is, permitted to exceed said 3 He maximum provided Utat the amount by which the maximum ia exceeded shall be de ducted from manufacturers' margin. 8. The actual transportation expense for car rying cream to the factory door. (Note The selling ' price shall mean the sell ing price f. o. b. factory door.) The manufasturer shall not pay to any dealer in butterfat a greater price than he pays to the producer who is a direct shipper performing similar service, and in no case shall the price paid by the manufacturer to the dealer exceed 2c per pound butterfat above the price paid by the dealer to the producer of butterfat. The food administration does not recognise 5c per pound ef butter as a normal, reasonable cost of manufacture. Thia is a maximum mar gin to cover the most expensive legitimate meth od of operation and to provide for the risks ot fluctuating markets.
