Trad rn the batter market" Muted the Tues day aetiTttie it the ulrtnct of 2e at Portland and Se at Seattle. A the latter market bad bera la below Portland, the two are bow uai forra. ; -. v-' -'.'!" ' : At 42c for print extra the local trade la avowing strength with demand- keen for both print and eubea. The advance to not being followed to any considerable extent in thy under-, core offerings of cubes-and receivers th general report a dragging- tendency la the trade. With the-published advance of 2a a pound la the price of betterfat, the market In general is really showing no rise became most, of the creameries were quoting a premium on fat for a -number of weeks past. In fact values offering No. 1 fat are above the quoted batia In seme instances although that Is the general market. A review of the Saa Francisco butter market for last 'week shows: , - . .. There was an change far the butter prices at San Fraaoiace until the latter part of the week, ' when A 2 score regttred aa advance of 14 c Trading np until Thursday was only ordinary with no special feature to the tone, although dealers kept floor fairly well cleaned up of all trade. Late in the week Increased demand from the South canned some scarcity f the top grades of California batter. This, together with advances in the Kant, iaepired confidence in the . local butter -situation, i Another factor I the general shortage of storage stocks all over the country. Latest available reports show stocks at Seattle. Portland. Los Angeles and fiaa Fran eieoo approximately 1.600.000 lbs. short of 1920, while the four large Eastern markets have , a ahortage of around 7.600,000 lbs. Receipts at Sea Francisco, however, for the past two week show a market gala over the same period last year. While a firm market' la very evident, - there is tittle speculative activity. Price advance resumed on butter this , week in the East, due to continued hot weather and resulting shorter "make" and poorer quality. Production la really not much short of bat year, but lack of Daman importations to- swell storage ftoidinsB has created bnllinh feeling and all mar kets has crested a vary firm condition following advances of this week. Undergradea accumulated in the Eastern market early In the week but Cleared - later, also advancing in price. Seven -hundred casks of Danish butter arrived in New Tork .during the week, but sold before arrival and had no influence on the market. " Eight mutton" pounds of butter were received last July. - The price is too "high to allow further ship ments of Danish butter at present. "Centralised" dull early in the week, but sharp recovery later account ex rtrm price on. futures at rCnieago. which were up to 4 So on December delivery ataniaraa. rraductloa ts . probably about 8 to 0 per cent under last year, but some rains la putter sections during, the-past week. - Those desiring special Information regarding any market should write the Market Editor, Oregon Journal, encIoaiBg stamp for - reply. - EGGS DEMAND EXTBEMELY QUIET -, Demand for fresh eggs is extremely quiet at this time and most of the. business continues in short held storage. For that reason stocks of Yreah eggs ere piling up, not being saleable . even av lower prices, ;" CHICKEJT TRADE ABOTJT STEADY .-- In general the market for chickens is about steady along Front street. Lgbt hens and light weight broilers excepted, there is sn excellent call along the street, but the bulk of the. offer ing is in the neglected class.
