Drop of 4 cents a pound 4n the price of butter In Portland and; , 5 cent at Seattle effective at the opening; of. the Monday morning-trade, was accurately forecast by The 1 Journal In a previous issue. . ' ' I " . Wflile It was the original plan of the butter mikrn to drnj) 3 cents pound both at Portland and Seattle. H was later decided that Portland "stinuld drop only 4 cent while Seattle" would dro.. the greater amount, - Thia would pat berth markets on a parity lor the- first tine in aa extended period. . The price ' of butferfat dropped : 5 rests a - pound, instead of 4 cents aa In butter, thia being a seasonable- chance in the differential between ' battel ami fat. due to the expeetatkma of lower Irv-rs before, the fat to actually aotd aa butter. Complete demoralisation of the butter market ia. being aided , by the, tactira of a cooperative organization in. shading the price quoted by the private creameries. Thia la explained by one of the .cooperative men a due to the fact that the firmer' organization ha - no big established trade, to take care of it "t-arplos; therefore, it mutt cut prices below the regular market to i an toad. ,-;j . ;...- , , , ' .

The. packers this season offered 9c a pound for Chinook, as compared with 12o a year ago. -This price, as usual, is unsatisfactory to the fishermen, who have demanded a 10-cent price.;;-.' j ".- ;-t.'::.;.: .--'It develops thst tio matter what price the packers offer, the fishermen demand a higher price. Therefore the present situation ia Just norma!.' - -e . j Considering the ; general bnsines structure and especially the ; canned salmon , line, it is donbtful if any packer will increase their price fo raw fish unless the run should, dwindle to an alarming extent. - W hile it ia trae that there is almost a nor mal demand for Columbia river canned aalmon st this tirue. Eastern . buyers are. ordering t m thn ; assumption - that values will show a dex eided loss from a year, ago, lust aa was shown i practically all lines of foodstuffs. With the exception of spring pack Columbia river Chinook and the wetter ' varhstiea and grades from other districts, the earmed salmon market today is in 01 mood to tolerate the asking of extreme val ues, such as were eaoted a year ago. In fact,' piesent indications are that, aside from the better Packs, there will be plenty of aabnon to fill all wanta if not a single case -waa packed on the Pacific , coast this season. - ; Strike News Now : !

Pend ing: the outcome of the strike of the British coal -miners and the Uernsa renarati-ia matter, the: public apparently is taking little interest. There was small selling of Liverpool and Japa nese, interest, the latter disposing of new crop, while New Orleans and a few commission f""ii" furnished the only demands. - After the opening, which was 8 to 6 points lower, the list -acted steady, rallying to Satur day's close on scattered covering by the room.

In his suit he alleged that the manufacturer should, have crated the digger so that its sharp knives could not have cut him.

The steamship company remains aa defend ant.
