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
