Los Angeles .................. 43e - (e L088. : . ' . Butter prices were stationary tn the local territory for the day and there was no indication during the morning of any decided change in values for the imme diate future. . ' i - Makera still report aa actual shortage of beet grad batter here tn spit of th recent fluc tuations in th CsHfornis trade. They claim that the demand ha increased roach greater than supplies tine tbe recent decline is valnes, Th only thing that would causa any dis arrangement of the price of butter bere and elsewhere In the Northwest at this time is for the California trad to show serious loss. Any sharp advance ia th South Would Quickly be re flected bare, so thort is the supply, according to makers. The bureau ef market gives the foUowiog re port of the Baa Fraaeiseo market for the week ended ridy: . "Following rinse! y condition in the eastern markets, n Francisco btiHer price continued on the downward grade. The tone of th mar ket showed signs of steadiness Monday and Tuesday ; however, it was unable to recover from the continued decline end 92 score butter lost 2e from Monday to Friday, inclusive. wo earn of freak butter want East during the first part of tbe week and some shipping business to the North and South prevented a more rapid de cline, but did not keep stocks from showing so accumulation at the close of the week. The consensus of opinion is thst prices must go some lower. Receipt hare increased, th storage season is still four to six weeks wsy. and out side demand is hardly, strong enough to keep the surplus cleaned up. Some reaction in prices may occur is the event of s steady to firm eastern ssarkat. thus allowing sufficient margin for shipping. , However, with approximately 2.280,000 pounds of low priced Danjsb butter arriving in New. Tork next Wednesday, there ts angbt confidence in firmer market. As a great many egga have sow into storage at prices higher thsn the present levels, butter men will no doubt be cautious about storing this year un til assuiwd that bottom prices nave bees rear bed." - ' , Review of the butter market at New York, Boston. Chicago and Philadelphia for th week ending Friday : "Thia was saotbec week of declining mar kets, due last week to anticipation and thia week to realisation of Danish importations. New Yerk wa chiefly effected, but other markets lost trade and sentiment was bearish over the entire country. The break In egg price and the reported difficulty ef packers of eggs In se curing sdequst loan and rate has made butter people Chink butter prices are due for consid erable decline before storage season. Domestic receipts were slightly heavier, but not exces sive as yet, and outside of, Danish arrivals, eastern market rv actually short of upplies and were firmer at end of th week, but the steamer Oscar II is due on the 33d with 19.000 casks and the outlook is not strong. Two cargoes which arrived this week totaled abont 16,000 casks, but this is high cost butter, due to resale in transit up to 50c The average net decline this week on 92 score butter was 2 H c from Monday through Friday at the four mar ket. Trading in storage butter almost dead. Holders are working hard to use or sell but prices are very low ana sales difficult. New Zealand butter from Ban Francisco evidently found a fait market, as it was reported sold in transit t around 44e. Boston is stuck on a lot of high priced storage butter."

(WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL) The f 15,000.000 Tump sum appropriation for rivers and harbors this year ia the second lump sum bill in succession.

Johnson and Hubbard mills and remove sandbars, one between Reed snort and Gardiner and one below Gardiner.

Treason Cause of Revolt's Failure', Says Rustf General Stockholm. March 30. Treason in the ranks and even In the higher command ef the . Kronatadt rebellion was what caused the failure of the shortlived demonstration against the soviet regime, which ended with the 'complete Invest ment of the fortresses by Bolshevik troops, according to authentic advices received here. One commander and a number of pri vates, auspected of treachery, escaped through the tinea and avoided arredt. The Bolshevikt are now said -to be in full possession of the fortress, and one of their captive balloons floata above the stronghold. There is a wide mliltary belt carefully patrolled by Bolhev1kv troops to turn back any more refugees attempting to get into Finland. There were $000 men in Kronstadt and the enemy's constant stream of re inforcements were down the garrison," said General Koslovsky, commander of the rebellion. "Spies and traitors In our ranks contributed to the defeat. Our machine guns raised havoc with the enemy as they stormed against the fortress. Their bodies were .- piled in heaps on the ice and ground." :. It is. expected that Finland will have to receive 1S.000 - refugeea before the exodua Is stopped.
