BUTTER WIESS CAUSES NEW DROP Dragging Tone and Forced Sale of Surplus Has Expected Effect PORTLAND, Dec 19. (AP) Further cut of one cent In the price of all cube batter on the produce exchange for the week end aession except prime first, which tu down two cents, was not a surprise. Such action was expected '.and In, fact forecast la those re-lews. Recent dragging tone of the butter trade with the forced sale oa the open market ef surplus of ferings at prices below those general- established, reflected only extreme weakness. There appear ed no place to put butter except at a loss. This naturally created weak ness fn the entire trade which fi nally permeated the butterfat quotation and shaded figures were occasionally met with In that line instead of the premiums formerly shown. Butterfat ralues la general are down one cent a pound for the week end with the Portland delivered price top at 18c pound. There continues a seasonable slow movement of eggs and espe cially storage stock which is af fecting fresh goods. Locally the market is easier with indications of an early decline. Demand for live chickens is al most lacking in the local trade with value3 extremely weak and especially so for roasters and light weight hens. Quite fair supplies of dressed geese are arriving here and most of the sales are being made at the lower range. There is practically a shortage or dressed ducks in the local J iraue auuougn one receiver se cured a fair supply overnight trices are steady to firm in this line. There was practically no price cnanges for country killed meats during the week-end trading along the wholesale way. Veal, nogs and lambs are quoted un changed generally for quality stuff. With the outside markets re fusing to pay former extreme for onions, there Is a lack of gener al activity at Willamette valley sources. Some of the leading op erators are out of the market until It settles one way or the other. 1 IMLESSTH IN WEEK END TRADE PORTLAND. Dec. 19.

Th brig Henry, earn up th river with a cargo of goods, including a stock of Seta Thomas clocks. Joe bought the whole stock, at 4 each. There had "been a great harvest of wheat, and the demand was small and the price low. Jo traded clocks to settlers for wheat, at to 80 bushels for a clock; stored the wheat, and by the following year, with the large Immigration of 184S, and a small er crop of wheat, his original 22.- SO capital was over $1000; and th dreamer of dream was open tor larger plans. 'm He started back to Missouri in 1848. He foresaw that there would be a demand, here for wool en goods; hence for sheep. He in tended to bring back a band of sheep. He escaped death by a hair's breadth, in several ways, among them on a Journey down the Mississippi when the boat on which he was traveling bad a col lision, and many passengers, un able to get to land, were drowned. Reaching home, preparations were mad for crossing the conti nent to Oregon, by all the Watt family. They came in 1848. with 220 head of sheep, and had a comparatively easy Journey, on account of Joseph Watt's famil iarity with the route and his knowledge of the necessary means and methods of travel. Of coarse the Missouri neighbors laughed and wagged their heads, when the sheep were being gotten to gether for the Journey to get them across the plains was some thing they thought could not be done. S The Watt train met Joe Meek going to Washington with the news of the Whitman massacre and the women wept and the faint hearted wanted to turn back. But Joe Watt was not built that way and the cavalcade with the band of sheep moved on; some of Joe's eight sisters helping drive them Including the 15 year old daughter, Isabel B., who became Mrs. Werner Breyman of Salem.
