By Hymaa H. Cehea The butter market never showed a more uncertain tone with less chance to report it absolutely correct than at this time. Even the leading handlers of butter are unable to say with any de gree of accuracy what tha general trade is- , " -. i t Actual business in the butter market is practically down to the vanishing point. Some sales are reported in a small way to BritishCoiumbia but the local trade Is quiet so far as cubes are concerned. Prints are moving out as previously not ed with tha exceptions of here and there a showing Of sluggishness. Since Seattle and other northern mar kets followed the recent drop in the Portland price and placed the butterfat quotation on a parity throughout the Pacific Northwest, the market has re flected further weakness. In fact, soma expectations are for a further drop in prices. ' Those desiring special information re garding any market should write the Market Editor, Oregon Journal, enclos ing stamp for reply.
