While the output of batter in this terri
tory a decreasing rapidly from the flush pro
duction figures, ether points of the country
continue to shew increased output ae compared
with a year ago. The f oliowing figures are
itiTen by the Association of Afflfrion Cream
rry Manufacturers:
No. lbs, butter manufactured this
week 6,509.173
No. lba. batter manufactured cor
responding week last year. ..... 8,388,357
No. lbs. butter manufactured last
week ..6.494,879
Mo. plants reporting 85
As compared with same week last year an
increase of 20.8 per cent; as compared with
last week an increase of .22 per cent.
Generally speaking, there is less pressure
against the butter market than during the
previous week. While the market here is by
no means firm, it i really not weak. Cen
tralizers continue to rush their surplus into
storage because of the lack of outside demand
at a price that will allow them to "break
Ten" at the present quotation on butterfat.
Competitive butterfat prices continue at
the extreme; in fact, a florae country points a
higher price is being paid than is Quoted for
city delivery.
Those desiring special information regard
ing any market should write the Market Ed
itor, Oregon Journal, enclosing stamp for
reply.

Mteming inability of receiTers to clean up

JjiC to 1c a pound at 26 He for case lots of
Tillamook triplets with the usual advance for
broken cases.
COFFEE PRICES ARE ADVANCED
L-al consumers will pay an additional le

PRUNE CROP AND
DEMAND HEAVIER
Bf Hysaan H. 4Mtal .
Orecmi'irni erso ia tedaw estimated at
from 45.000,000 to 63,000.000 pounds, the
greatest output ver known ia the state.
- Present condition of the erop Is so extra
ordinarily good, according to apectat reperts
received by The Journal., end by its own ra
rest! gation. that practically bo fears are mom
expressed regarding tbe ripening of too moor
erop.
Tbe erop of prunes ia eo great in the Wil
lamette ealley that trees are literally breaking
with the fruit. The extent of the crop is far
beyond previous estimates, which wars ex
tremely good. '
Because of the enormous volume of fruit
on the trees, expectations are that only a
ear small per cent of the crop will run to
targe sised fruit. Twenties will probably be
too scarce to quote, while 80s will be bat a
nominal affair. It is judged that the large
per cent of the erop this season will run set
larger than 40a.
According to recent report of the Oregon
Growers' Cooperative association, its business
in prunes to date this season hare been unusu
ally liberal at opening values. It claims that
practically every country in Europe, aa well as
Canada and the United States, has been buy
ers from the organisation ror the 1922 crop.
Independent packers report a like condi
tion, with Europe especially interested in Ore
gon supplies this season. Reports indicate
that the independents are asking He a pound
advance generally.
COMPETITION FOB. COTTOS
FORCES A SPIRITED ADTA5CE
New Tork. June 27. A belief that there
was competition for the ownership of cotton in
the local stock started a very rapid and ex
cited advance in the cotton market at the
opening today. It was the first Jnly notice
day, and notices were reported in circulation
representing over 100,000, and possibly 125.
OOO bales of cotton. This was a larger
amount than anticipated, but the market
opened firm at an advance of 3 to 2 S points,
and before the end of the first hour aold
58 to 64 points above yesterday's closing
quotations.
It looked as though scattering spot houses,
including aouthern interests, were prepared to
take up any notices they might receive, and
it also looked as though the two large houses
credited with issuing the notices had broken
around the ring to buy July contracts for
sale, with a purpose, doubtless, of taking back
tbe cotton. The demand for July was per
haps the chief factor on the advance on the
latter months, but the buying of new crop
deliveries also was encouraged by tbe rela
tively firm ruling of Liverpool, the steadier
showing of exchange rates, a private erop re
pert showing a smaller indicated yield than
the figures of yesterday . and reports of rams
on tbe south. An idea that the market had
been pretty wen liquidated on the recent de
cline of about 220 points from the best,
which vcas also a factor which probably ex
plained some of the local covering. The ad
vance carried October contracts up to 21. TO,
or nearly a cent a pound, above the low level
of yesterday, after which trading became a
little less active, and there was enough real
izing to cause moderate reactions.
Today's cotton market consisted of two rery
distinct snd opposite periods. The first was a
most violent recovery lasting through the fore
noon. Th second was an almost equally
abrupt reaction in the final half of the day.
The afternoon decline was due to selling by
local and Wall street interests in anticipa
tion of a very favorable weekly weather report
on Wednesday. I nder this selling the market
closed with net gains reduced from 7 to 32.

runs again helped the market ' fee all- kinds of

good quality animals was active in all branches.
In the hog houses mixed snd plain lots shewed
more gain than the best stuff. Nearly 10,000

Liverpool was lower for options while Chi
cago was higher in the early Tuesday trade, a
condition which indicates that the trade is
playing hide and seek. Local trade conditions
are just about steady. While some business
in club was reported at (1.13 91.14 per
bushel, basis tidewater delivery, the volume
of sales below (1.15 was almost too small to
consider as a factor. In fact. (1.13 was the
general price listed for cash white club.
Liverpool options opened Id lower and
closed with a net loss of Id to 1 Hd.
There was a slightly better feeling in ex
change and this was an aid to the club price.
Flour market remains quiet and generally
inactive for both foreign and domestic ac
count. Hay market is firm and active with de
mand unusually good for this period of the
season,

Bullish Sentiment
In Chicago Wheat
Pit at the Opening
Chicago, Jnne 27. Bullish sentiment was
again predominant in the wheat market today.
A lack of selling pressure was noted at the
start and thia led to short covering and there
was some buying by cash houses, presumably
against sales, ef cash wheat to exporters. A
Strang feature today was the increased demand
for winter wheat from exporters and there
wee strong bids for both red and hard wheat
e. L f. Buffalo. Tbe advance brought out some
commission house selling. Later reports said
that there were about 300.000 bushels ef
No. 2 and No. 3 red wheat aold to local and
eutzide mills on the basis of quarter eent over
for the former and 5e under the July for the
latter. Weather conditions were idesl for the
growing spring crop, but wet weather has in
terfered with the harvest in parts of the
Southwest. Cables were lower.
Corn showed a strong tone largely because
of the lack of selling pressure and buying main
ly by locals. There waa some commission
house selling on the sdvance. Crop news was
highly favorable and beneficial rains again
were reported over many of the dry spots.
Cash demand was moderate. Seaboard re
ported good export demand for corn.
Oats were firmer on local buying induced by
unfavorable crop reports.
Elevator interests were transferring hedges.
Cash demand was alow. Excellent condition
of pastures in New England territory is cur
tailing consumption.
Provisions "were firm. There was scattered
buying mdueed by the strength in graia and
hogs. Offerings were light.

North Portland had only four loads of new
arrivals for;: Tuesday, with steadiness indicated
for hogs and sheep while cattle continued very
alow.
In the feeder divisiop of the cattle market
there is indicated a weaker feeling along with
the limited demand fer killer stuff. Aside
from the very select killers, which natarally
are not at all plentiful at this period of the
season, the demand for cattle is extremely
limited. In fact a further loss of about
25c is generally indicated on the common
class of killers, although sales are still made
within the quotation range.
The liberal supplies of half-fat and half
starved cattle have their effect upon the feeder
division, and a loss. of fully 25c was indirated
for the better clasa feeders during the Tuesday
trade.

one more chance for their jobs. If. on
the return trip, one single ounce of
opium be found aboard ship there will
be a clean sweep from knight heads to
transom, and nobody will be over
looked. This means the entire staff
of officers and engineers and sailors,
stewards and everybody else will gd.
The measure Is drastic, but -It is
necessary."
Captain Nelson went en to explain
that the average person ashore has no
idea at all of the Infinite possibilities
for getting dope aboard ship. In Ori
ental ports the go-down coolies swarm
all over the ship to do stevedoring,
and unless the government provides
special operatives to search every tnsn
who comes aboard. It Is impossible to
stop the stuff from being concealed.
The bulk Is almost nothing, and the
value by measurement square inch is
infinitely more than gold.
