Hew York, the, market for butter stsrted tb week ia a ery firm rioaition. Because of the..- temporary scarcity of of f er ing in the Xorth Portland continues to nil ip supplies in that direction There if no real shortage in th North except an artificial one. created deliberately by interest "no purpose is to -force a federal advance in the price of milk staffs. There will he an advance in the price Tues day morning if outride markets respond to rie whim of the adranrirg interests. It is rewerl!y believed that 2c will be added to the price. In the meantime There is a stronger tone tor btrtterfat with Mime interests reported a ' stretching the price, fractionally in sntici .. patlon of a rise to come quickly in the butter market. . Review of the hotter market at San Fran rUm for the week: ' Tre a eeneral lark of life to the market at San Francisco during the past week, i Price laid a downward tetideucy. declining J e from Monday to Thursday. K.rwever, fol-j lnwtne aciive demand Friday for two day" i needs, the market closed very titm and 92 eeore advanced lc, making a net gain of e for tiie week. The advance wan larger than expected and was due to a temporary shortage of butter, following the shipment, of four ears to Kstern markets last week. tieal era think thai the advance at the close will not hold this week when more supplies are avail able. ' Medium and undergrade were very cewe and cold at it small range below fancy butter. tJold storage holdings allow continued heavy reduction. Tlie preliminary cold storage report, showing United State holdings over 17.000.000 pounds lea than last year, canned a- ftrraef undertone, but report of heavy ship ments of New Zealand butter to New York -counteracted this to some extent. Review of the butter markets at New York. Boston, Chieaeo and Philadelphia: The, influence of foreign butter threw -the Intern markets are out of balance. At New Tork, where mxt of he foreign butter arrives and consumed, the effect of Importations to felt mt: at Chicago to a lesser extent. The recent importations rumors of larte orders, arid some further purchases, baa acted as a cheek on the New York market, with the re sult that at the opening of the week the pries of 92 score at Chicago was 2c higher than at New Y'ork. Instead of about 1 He lower, as is more usual. This has had the effect of increasing receipt at Chicago and, increasing business at New Tork, and by the close of the week the usual ratio of prices was partly- corrected. The markets of the whole world worked to a little firmer position. Only 1200 casks of lianish butter arrived last week. Instead of 2000. as w expected, and in some quarters Danish offerings were less liberal at firmer prices. Some Canadian but ter continues to arrive, but this is quickly ab sorbed. Several ears of California butter are on tbe way to New York and Philadelphia, but thi is expected to have little effect. Home I production reports tins hock rtiow an increase, but the storage withdrawals were lieav ami the preliminary reort bullish.

Cehee ' ' ManinuUtbrs ' of foodstuff pries are likely to reeerve a nice little jolt aa a result of un expected arrivals of supplies. The big fellows who figured ther -were gouts W imt aoaaeuung ever on the geneial trade by Secretly bring-wg here a carload of Eastern cranberries, for which they expected to create so liberal lunfita, are doomed to disappointment unless some thing extraordinary happen. . - Today there arrived a big supply of Oregon-Washington cranberries. They rams from California, where the market is badly over stocked wfth cranberrta. Wholesalers there were glad to onload tisr-ir previous purchases of Northwest stock, especially ae whea a profit instead of a less was tendered them. Tbe supply of 08on-Vahingtin - cranber ries from California was reported in good con dition, which . means that tlie Fastens stock due Tuesday will rWeiee ie- setback. Instead of s. t2 -Sor better price for Eastern cranberries. Ins will be anite. acceptable, ia view of the fact that superior Quality North west stock is avaiUbl around t75 per third barrel. --.- Chicago Wheat. Advance Meets Strong Opposition Chicago, Dec. 11. Wheat sold at the highest points on. the crop early in tbe session early today. The advance, however, met with more ttreimoue opposition. There was broader buying power in the market from the outside, wbUe some, of the big shorts were inclined to take advantage of the dips to trim their hoes. The big local traders i-eemed imbued with the idea that a break was due after the recent ad vance and governed themselves accordingly. The belief that eon tress will extend loans to Eu ropean buyers is under the present bull move ment, but it ia difficult to believe that foreign importers will pass the premium that is being asked for our wheat for the privilege of credit. Cash wheat premiums were easier. Minneapolis premiums were He to to lower. The sea board reportea no armaria lor unuea mate wheat. Liverpool responded half-heartedly to tlie advance in America Saturday. Supplies on ocean passage decreased 4,192,009 bushels last week. Corn was higher at the start, with Decean ber establishing a new season's high mark. There was good commission house buying: at the start and covering by shorts. On the bulge cash houses put corn into the pit and. an Omaha bouse u a heavy seller, causing a material reaction. Supporting orders were- un covered en the break. Cash com premiums were easier. Shipping demand was slow. Re ceipts were heavy and offerings to arrive were larger. Sales of 60,000 bushels of contract corn were made to go to store. Oats sold at new high marks. There was good buying early, but realizing sales developed on the bulge. Cash oats premiums were un changed. Provisions were firmer. Strength in (Train was caused by short covering and some buying on stop loss order. Wheat closed irregular, lc . lower to Tie higher. December, 1.21 H: May. $1.20 ft & 1.20s: July. $1.10 1.10 H .
