airport of an Advance Is Error for
, the General Trade Is Unchanged
for the Day No Justification at the
Moment for Any Rise lien.
There waa no advance In the price of
creamery butter on the Portland market
purine- the day. That such an advance
was made has been stated by one news
naner. but the fact remains that the
general market remains unchanged With
68c for extras in parcnmeni wrapper
and 60c a pound In cartons, j
Such creameries as' the Hazelwood,
Sunset, Portland-Damascus, and Union
Moat Co.. have made no changes wnai-
ever, in prices and alt of the outside
makers . are quoting; similar prices as
i were shown during the previous ti
hours. , ; -
One creamery is reported to have made
a change in its quotations at a rise of
2c a pound, but none of the Other cream
eries were willing to make a similar
change, therefore the market in gen
eral' did nbt follow. i (
That then U no Justification whatever In afly
advstiee 1b i the price for the day was asserted
generally by creamery men here, although the
trend of the local trade is naturally some
what firmer as a result of late ad
vance - in soma of the other market.
Fact- of the matter is that vera it not tor the
tact that the market was firmer, it would in
reality he weak and lower prices would remit.
Stocks of butter are cleaninc up well here and
, it is hoped by the trade that they will continue
T to do so.
Fact that some of the other markets with
' manipulation totether with a shortage of stocks
advanced their quotations is siren as no reason
for ady advance here, especially as the offerings
I here at the moment are tip to the current de
mand. The trade again emphasises the fact that no
' one creamery can make or break the loaal mar
ket: it is getting entirely too bis for such s
condition. " -
ONIOK MARKET IS VERT QUIET
Market for onions is showing a very quiet
' tone locally with the general buying price at
country points not a bo re $3.60 per cental for
No. 1 stock. There continue too treat offer
ings of ordinary to poor quality.
CHEESE MARKET GAITf S 8THE2TGTH
'Market for cheese is gaining strength locally
and reports from Tillamook indicate that the
demand at the moment is somewhat in excess
of current offerings. There is lees tendency to
absde values of ordinary quality.
, By Hymen H. Cohen
Whoever heard of fresh cranberries
being offered in the open market during
the latter part of the month of March?
Such Offerings have been unheard of
In the trade heretofore but the imoos-
f sibie always seems to, be possible for
there were cranberries Offered on the
local market during the day . and they
were of rather good quality. The ship
ment was made by William E. Schirapff
of Allendale, a few miles from Seaside.
It has always been considered that
the cranberry season terminates with
New Tear's day, and stocks are usually
cleaned up" by that time. This year the
extraordinarily high prices were a fur
ther Inducement to the growers to clean
all stocks in their warehouses com
plete! yf but in spite of the attractive
prices offered at that time, some fruit
has been kept back by Clatsop cran
berry growers simply to demonstrate
their splendid keeping quality. A ship
ment has been reeeived in this city and
while the quantity is Incomparable to
the great quantity of berries shipped
out during the season, the quality of
the fruit is fully .equal to any received
during the entire season. The berries
show that same light cheek which has
characterised the good keepers coming
front this district. The trade is already
beginning to distinguish the better keep
ing berries by this distinguishing char
acteristic. Clatsop cranberry growers feel that
they have demonstrated beyond possible
question the fact that berries grown in
the district at the mouth of the Colum
bia river will keep. ; The possibility of
the extension of the season means much
to the Industry, as It Indicates the length
to which construction can go in order
to produce sufficient acreage to yield
cratiberries for a season extending say
from the blackberry In the fall to the
strawberry In the spring.
Those deslrIng""lnformation regarding
markets should write the market editor,

Held in Country,
Says Late Report
TEAL MARKET IS SOME WEAKER
Country killed calf market is somewhat weaker
here. Sales made during the last 24 hours
along the wholesale way were still as high ai
'ile t pound for top quality, but the ssovemsat
. was restricted somewhat.
POOR BROCOLI WORRIES TRADE
' That the interest in charge of the Douglas
county broroH supply are sending the better
class stock to the eastern trade and shipping the
"Junk" to Portland is asserted by the trade.
This is hurting the reputation of the valley
stock here.
CAHHED JI1XK MARKET IS QUIET
With buyers not inclined to purchase more
than for their very immediate teqniremflts, a
frsneral lull is shewn in the movement of eanned
tfcilk kwsHy. While no change in price is in-
fUeated. .the market is easier.

That wheat srrowers of the interior
are ehdwinfc Intense interest In the move
ment or lack Of movement of the lata
crop. Is the word that ia brought for
ward to Portland by Lee Boyer of tha
Northern Grain Warehouse company
of this city, fast returned from an ex
tended stay in the . Tekoa, Wash., sec
tiOn. Mr. Boyer reports that the win'
ter wheat crop of that section is in ex-
cellent condition but the farmers are
somewhat doubtful as to what they are
going to do with the crop.
' With warehouse facilities In the in
terior approximately 20 per cent of the)
normal crop, everyone in the trade is
wondering just what ia going to happen
to the coming crop when it is ready for
market. While there is some storage
space in the Interior warehouses at this
time, only a email per cent of tha crop
can be housed there.
With huge stocks of the 1018 crop still held
at Pacific terminals and no indication that it
will be moved out by the government, fears ar4
expressed that a complete stagnation id the
gnovesnent ef the 1919 crop will be shown un
less something is Immediately done by the gov
ernment, not only to get the old crop aut ol
the way. but to make definite plans tor the
movement of the eomUg crop.
Reports indicate that tha government win not
pay for the coming cropAintil it is in tidewater
terminals, and if these terminals ire filled up
because of the lack of outward movement, it
would mean serious delays In not only moving
the new crop, but in the growers getting their
money.
Demand for barley from abroad continuea to
domlfiate the Pacific coast markets. California
ia said to be doing liberal business with Europe
and this is having tha effect ef forcing a greater
call in the Portland trade.
Oats demand is also improving.

SPORTSMEN AFTER
SCALP OF WARREN
(Continued From Fag On
sportsmen and their desire to gee tm
fish and wild life fostered and protected,
added to which la tha charge, specif leal
ly made, that tha funds of the "gam
protective fond have been twed for tha
propagation of commercial fish under
the grilse of gam fifth. It fa also chaffed
that Cart Shoemaker, etate game war
den, haa uaed the funds of the comm le
sion to further tha political lntrta ef
Commiaaloner Warren and of himself.
- It ia chargred by tha Bportarnen that
Commtaaioner Warren and Frank Beu
fert, (of Tho Dalles, were for yeara thd
actlta lohbrlflta for , tha kalmon can
filn interest during- legislative aesaions,
and 'that aince his appointment aa - a
member of . the commission Warren has
continued to serve aa the representative
of tha commercial fishermen while serV
iht at the earns time as a commissioner.
It la also charged that tha recent leg
islature enacted amendments to the) fish
and game coda, which gave added Bower
to tha commissions which power waa
sought for tha purpose of advancing- the
Interests of tha commercial fishermen.
Tha sportsmen point out that tha com
mission la supported by two separata
funds, the "fame protection fund" and
tha hatchery fund. Tha first la made
up of tha lioenaa money paid fof hunt
Ins and fishing; licenses, amounting- to
approximately $100,000 annually. The!
aeeond la derived from taxation and 11
censes from commercial flshlns;
Say Faads Wroagly VUA
It la Charged that tha aalraOn can
nine; interest caused1 the' repeal of tha
provision of law that "the moneys at
any tlma in the game protective fund
and tha hatchery fund shall ba kept
separata and apart, and shall b used
only for the respective purposes , for
which said funds' wars created." and
then used tha grama fund for the prepa
g-atioi of commercial fish. In support
of thia contention tha sportsmen point
out that the report of the commis
sion show about one half of the game
fish liberated from the hatcheries dur
ing 191$, 191? and-1918 to have been
steefaead salmon. - - ?
"PreVloua to 1J15 UiO report of the)
fish and .inn commission show that
ateelheads are commercial fish," , tha
aportsmed say in outlining their
charges. - "After Mr. Warren obtained
membership On the fish and game
commission, steelheads became game
fish because the Cost ef raising them
could then be charged to the game pro
tective fund. During the years 1916, 1917
and 1918- the reports of the fish and
game commission show that almost half
the game fish raised and liberated were
steelheads. Therefore, many thousands
of dollars each year are taken out of
the hunters and anglers' license money
to benefit- the salmon canners." ;
Claim Doable Taxation
The salmon canners hAve done even
better for themselves. They are hatch
ing and raising salmon and calling
them game fish. The report of 1919
shows that 490,000 "Chinook salmon and
41,300 sllverstde salmon were liberated
as game f lsh. ' In other words, the
Sportsmen are getting taxed twice, not
for their own benefit, but for the bene
fit of the salmon canners. They pay
their proportion In state taxes and' that
la In turn appropriated bv tha legislature
for salmon hatcheries. They next pay
the anglers license fund to hatoh and
liberate game flail and that, too, is ap
propriated to raise salmon." .
- It Is also charged that when Cdrnmle
stoner Warren ran for delegate to the
national Republican convention, Game
Warden Carl Shoemaker lined up all the
deputy game wardens in his bdhalf, and
that when, during political campaigns.
Shoemaker toured the atate In his auto
mobile at a cost of ten cents per mile
which was charged against the game
protective fund, hie traveling expenses
lumped from approximately $700 . to
$2,192 a. year. - t-. '
It la also alleged that there ia general
complaint from over the atate that- the
game protection ia lax in all parte of
the state, that deer are being run by
dogt and game birds are . shot out of
season without hindrance. During 1918
there were not one-third the number of
game birds liberated that there were
during 1914 and only half as many game
fish In 1918 and In 1917, It is charged.
