Keriew of the .Han Franciaro butter market
for the week endm- Friday, by the Lmted States
bureau of market:
The outstanding feature of the Han Francisco
market this week was the' sharp upward turn dur
ing the Utter half, due to very heavy and un
expected eastern demand. Reiwrts that Hanish
shipment had ceased and that England had
raised restriction on butter corrsumption and
would use all Ianih exports, caused eastern
dealers to look to California for fancy fresh but
ter. From Friday to Friday there was continued
fluctuations in price and trading conditiona
changed practically every day. There waa slight
net change in uuotation and there waa an ad
Tanrn of only c for the week. The tone of
the market iu weak Monday, firm Tuesday fol
lowing good I'acitic rn.kt demand: weak again
Wednesday UP until eastern demand practically
rleaneit up surplus stock. While dealer era
unable to fill all orders from New York, Phila
delphia and Boetnn,, local prices did not advance
as rapidly aa might hare been expected,' deal
ers were nceriain as to how long eastern de
mand would continue and wished to keep prices
r'oady in order to encourage shipiring biLsinesa.
Without outside demaod the fan Francisco
market would hare been in poor condition due to
heavy receipt. Cold (storage, holdings show an

Asparagus 1A today selling aa low as
20c a pound In the retail shops as a re
suit of the general drop In the whole
sale market. California asparagus is
today in very liberal supply here and it
is believed that the price Is getting close
to the bottom, as some of the canners
of the Kouth are said to have started
operations. ;
One of those Queer twists of demand
is shown in the local trade when dealers
complain that the public refuses to pur
chase the white asparagus. It is no
ticeable that te public's taste for as
paragus , will change considerably dur
ing a season. For instance, after there
tiafcvbeen a big supply of green aspar
aguT'Hii the market the taste will turn
to the white stock, while at other times
white stock cannot be moved.
Just why this discrimination against
white a.pararus is not known. It is
considered the best of all asparagus ; in
fact, "is the only kind that the canners
use and the public buys In tins.
It begins to look as it there will be a
slight advance In the price or tne bet
ter grade of potatoes.
Krks are cheaper in the private stalls
alongside the public market than in the
market itself.
Butter is down 5c a poimd at whole
sale and 5c at retail, beginning Monday
morning. Thjs i means a 45c a pound
selling price of best butter in plain
wrappers. 1 hose that want a carton will
pay extra. - ,

Flour prices are utterly out of Jine
with wheat market values and condi
tions and have been so for some time
past. There is not the slightest excuse
for the prfesent extreme value for patent
or family flour with the price of wheat
as low as it has been for an extended
period. For that reason It Is forecasted
that flour prices are due for a drop
of 40c to l a barrel within the imme
diate future.
If millers follow the ztricw of - wheat, the
eTtreme droo forecast will be made. In any
event a severe cut in the price of floor is
necessary and will be made as soon as millers
make up their minds just how much they can
stand.
Milling interests nrobiVy wotrd have fol
lowed the price of wheat some time ago had
it not been for the record breaking losses ttury
have suffered in their wheat purchases. -.Not a
single one i of them, so far as can be ascer
tained, has purchased wbeat for milling and
exporting bnt what bad dropped an unusually
targe sum this season. This, therefore, has com
pelled millers to go rather slow about making
flour reductions. Most oi tnem nave aireaay
drooned alt ther made during the war period.
Rolled and whole oats and barley and whole
and cracked com are each down $1 a ton for
the day.

POTATO PURCHASES
SHOWING A GAIN
Market for , potatoes - continues quite
active at Oregon-Western Washington
country points and especially for the
Burba nk type, the call is bringing forth
very steady to firm prices.
While reports-indicate that as high aa $1.25
per cental was offered for several carloads of
extra good ' stuff at one local point, this is
a trifle higher than the market affords for
the moment. In fact, " . 1 Bnrbank pur
chase are generally shown at 11 00(8 1.10 per
cental f. o. b. contry stations, although $1.25
has bee en paid In a nominal way. Reports in
dicate that those who were of ferine the $1.25
really did not want the stock but sought to hare
the growers bold.
Enormous shipments' of Oregon potatoes are
being made to California and especially to San
Francisco. During March about 137 carloads
of potatoes passed through Ashland for Cali
fornia. Reports from the south indicate that
the t.rsd there is getting slightly overstocked
but H is not believed that prices will be af
fected unless too rapid shipments continue.
In some quarters tire Impression prevails that
all of ttie better class of Burbank potatoes will
be cleaned up in Tiiia section within a month.
In the meantime new potato shipments from
Texas are increasing,.

Surprisingly liberal run was shown in
the North Portland alleys at the open
ing of the week. Hogs Wtere badly de
pressed, cattle were steady, while sheep
were about steady. Run over Sunday
totaled 103 cars.
In the hog alleys there were nearly 20 loads
reported 111 the alleys over Sunday, of which
eight cars came direct to killers from the mid
west and an additional three loads were . for
other packers and did not stop liere except for
rest and water. There waa practically no early
bidding in the bog market at North Portland,
due to the fact that killers bare been able to
bring Eastern stock at lesa money than the local
market luis been quoting.
