BUTTER MARKET
STATIONARY AT
RECENT PRICES
Portland, March 25 (LP) There
was practically no change in the
butter market situation for Friday
on the open market, both cubes and
prints being stationary at recent
prices. Make is generally increasing.
There was no change in the price
of eggs locally for the day, but more
or loss secret cutting is indicated in
the trade. Much of the cutting Is by
producers selling direct to retailers.
There remains very little change
In the country meat market. Lambs,
both old and new crop, are in good
call, and at full prices. VeaJ are
weak and hogs about steady. Beef
demand is good.
First strawberries of the season
are here. They came to the Ryan
Fruit Co., from southern California.
They sold rapidly at 50c pint, qual
ity extremely good.
Owing to the setback in inspection
at Roseburg, broccoli offerings from
there were scant for the day. Prices
at Roseburg were nominal for Is.
Uninspected stock is still coming by
truck.
Shippers of carlots of onions say
their sales to the east yesterday were
about 50c cental lees than previous
ly, which would not Indicate a buy
ing price here above tG-$(i.50. Local
sales to retailers not more than a
faalf dozen sacks a day.
The big boom appears lost In the
potato trade with practically all car
load buyers refusing to take hold at
primary points within the price
range recently asked. Locally the
market is quiet.
Dressed turkeys are in very good
Jemand at late prices.
Hothouse cucumbers are very slow
sale on account of the weather.
Orange market is up about 25c
case locally with even greater ad
vances at the source.
Extreme scarcity of fresh" salmon
Is reflected with prices nominally
higher.
Green peas are now arriving In
sacks from California. Sales around
9-1 1c lb. Quality very good.
First carload of new Texas pota
toes here with sales around 7c lb.,
with about ic extra for Florida.
STOCK RANGES
SHY OF PASTURE
Corvallis, Ore., March 25 (IF) A
serious feed shortage throughout
much of the western livestock region
was reported today in a weekly sum
mary of livestock ranges and pas
tures issued by the Oregon State
college extension service and the U.
S.D.A. bureau of agricultural eco
nomics. Oregon livestock Is in only fair
condition, the report said, as weath
er conditions have delayed the start
of spring pasture. Prospects for later
pasture are excellent due to the un
usual amount of moisture, but much
depends on the future weather. In
California range feed has been de
layed by low temperatures.
Western lamb shipments decreased
slightly during the week ending
March 19, and sharply less than the
corresponding week a year ago, al
though the movement for the year
to date is about the same as last
year.
Supplier until May will be largely
fed lambs and early spring lambs
from California and Arizona with
some stock from Texas. The early
lamb crop In California and Arizona
Is somewhat smaller this year than
last, and the development is not
very favorable to date, the report
snld.
Eastern shipments from California
for April have been estimated as
relatively small.

CONGRESS REJECTS
TAX UPON BEER
(Continued irom page 1)
ocrat, Texas, In telling the house
that liquor "ruined everything It
nas ever touched.
Tlie outcome was a foregone con
clusion from the start, but It was
pressed as part of the wet cam
paign being conducted by the antl
prohlblttontsta of the house. The
amendment was offered by the
Tammany leader, Representative
Cullen, New York. It proposed a
lax 01 three cents a pint on all beer.
porter, lager and ale of less than
2.75 per cent alcoholic content by
volume. It would have legalized
that type of beer. The Volstead
act now restricts beer to less than
one-half of one per cent.
In a vote on repeal last Monday
wets mustered 187 votes.
Acting Chairman Crisp of the
ways and means committee took the
floor In opposition to the amend
ment at the close of debate.
I have been against this beer
proposal because I do not believe
prohibition ought to be Injected
into the tax bill," he said.
The amendment came as a pro
posed addition to an amendment
by Crisp seeking to restore the tax
es hastily omitted yesterday on
wort and mall syrup. 30 to 40 per
cent, lubricating oil, four cents a
gallon, grape concentrates, 40 per
cent, and Imported oil one cent a
gallon.
Crisp said the house had inad
vertently stricken out the domestic
tax on these articles and had left
a tax on Imports. The effect, he
pointed out, would be to give a
high protective tariff on home
brewing and wine making facilities
In suMamlng his decision. Uank-
hcad declared that "tlie supreme
court has never ruled on whether
2.75 per cent beer Is Intoxicating."
'Tlie chair is clearly of tlie opin
ion," he added, "that this amend
ment merely provides another ad
ditional source of revenue to the
many listed In the bill."
Following Bankhead's ruling.
Crisp attempted to obtain a unani
mous agreement for a ilmltatlsn of
debate, but scores of clamorous
members desiring to speak made
this Impossible.
Representative Cullen, author of
the amendment, then took the floor
to ask the house to be "rational
and fair minded " and "realii that
legalising J.7S per cent beer would
meet with tlie approval of a great
majority of our people."
This amendment, the New York
democrat said, "would raise MJ0,-
000.000 without discouraging Indus
try by the bootlegger."

CROP LOANS TO
PAY FOR WATER
Washington, March 2 UP) Secre
tary Hyde today notified Senators
Carey, republican, Wyoming, and
Thomas, republican, Indaho, that
western farmers on Irrigation pro
jects could use their crop produc
tion loans to pay for water and
maintenance charges.
The senators explained the pro
duction loans were those provided
for in the 1200,000,000 agriculture
fund of the Reconstruction-Finance
corporation and would be available
for farmers in all irrigation pro
jects, whether federal or private.
Hyde's decision to change the
rules on '.se of the crop production
loans came as the request of the
western senators, who had pointed
out the necessity for water on the
irrigation projects, equally as vital
as the seed, feed and fertilizer for
which the loans originally were
confined.
Their understanding Is that the
amount of the loans, three dollars
per acre up to the $400 maximum
per farmer, remains the same, but
that a farmer could use any por
tion to apply to water costs, or to
seed, feed and fertilizer as might
be necessary.

rested yesterday by police when he
appeared at the statehouse to go
to work. He was taken into the
office of Chief Justice T. Bailey
Lee, where Regan had determined
before hand that the extortion note
was written.
The text of the note was dictated
to Gull and he wrote it on the type
writer, making essentially the same
mistakes, police said, that were
contained In the original extortion
note.
The original note was received
last Thursday by Regan. It de
manded that he put 1 0,000 in a
box to be found In a certain little
niche in the inside wall of the state
house near the supreme court
chambers. Regan appeared Sun
day at the prescribed time but fail
ed to find the box, nor did any one
call to get the money.
The note demanded the, money

seven children, three of whom are
In school In California and four
here. It stated, however, he would
not be put to the same worry as
liinarjergn."

WOOlPRICES
SLOWLY EASING
Boston, March 25 UP) The com
mercial bulletin will say tomorrow:
A little wool has been sold this
week here but at prices which show
slowly easing tendency. Tlie
manufacturers have delayed their
heavyweight openings and so the
wool trade have no basis of values
in the finished fabric upon which
to predicate wool values with any
assurance.
"The market, moreover, has been
unsettled again by the action of the
national wool marketing corpora
tion in- making a sale of 5.000,000
pounds of adult mohair at a price
which hardly can exceed six cents
a pound and which is believed to
have been 5?i cents. The average
advance of tlie coop and adult hair
for 1930 and 1931 is calculated to
be about 26 cents. The tariff usually
collected on mohair of this type is
25'i cents (34 cents clean con
tent.) This hair, it is announced, has
been sold to carpet mills with the
understanding that it will not be
used for other than carpet pur
poses. Other so-called regular users
of the staple, however, are distur
bed by the sa!e and contend that
they should be able to buy at the
same price, especially as the staple
is government financed in part."
me wool trade, naturallv. are
wondering whether they may ex
pect the wool holding of the coop
to be forced on the market, and so
they are moving with unusual cau
tion. "Little wool has been moved in
the west and that mostly in Arizona
at lower prices.
Foreign markets are about
steady."

ed to permit the water to clear so
