14 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1392 NO INCREASE IN BUTTER MAKE; DEMAND GROWS Portland, Ore., April 21 (Un There was a scramble for butter during the last 34 hours In the local territory. Production Is not showing the In crease generally expected while de mand Is gaining. Butterfat has continued at prac tically unchanged prices with most operators bidding uniform values. Reduction of lc lb. In the price of cheese is announced by Carl Ha berlack, sales head of the Tilla mook association. The new prices f. o, b. the cheese city Is 13c for triplets and 14c for loaf. The resale price to retailers here is 2c higher. There was no change in the gen eral price structure of the e?g trade for the day. Neither co-or3 or pri vate firms changed their sellinc values. Storage operations are gain ing. There Is a flower demand for live chickens within the price range, which remains extremenly low for both light hens and broilers. Heavy ! stock appears steady in both lines. Turkeys are selling 18-lOc for hem and 14-15 for toms. Last Monday all records for dressed mutton and lmb arrivals were broken by the Front street trade when fi21 head wrre received. Since then the run ha.s been literal and springers have sold 14c for the bulk with a spread of 13-15c for good stuff. Steadiness at least Is reflected In the market for country killed calves with general sales around 9- 9'tc lb. for tops. Hogs are steady with the best around 6'ic lb. First liberal shipment of Florin Sacramento strawberries was re ported in for the day. The stock was packed In 20s and was priced $2.50 for fresh arrivals. Los An geles and Fresno stock at wide spread. There Is a wide spread being ask ed by wholesalers for small re maining stocks of old crop Oregon onions. Sales .are reported limited at $7.50-8.50. New Callfornian are due to arrive within the next 48 hours. Mexican peppers are lower with more offering. Hothouse cucumbers and toma toes steady with befit 'toma selling 25c lb. for choice. 30c for fancy and 35c for fancy. Some eastern Oregon not so good were priced $4.50 for 20s. Artichokes are of fancy quality with 6s selling around $2,25 and 4s and 5s $2.50 box. California peas are weaker and lower with $3 sack now general top. Lettuce Is weaker with best Santa Maria selling $3 top. The matter of a plan for organ izing prune growers In California, Including both association and out Ride members, with purpose to Im prove pmne values generally thru stabilization of the distribution and to provide for general advertising promotion, will probably be put out to the growers and made public, in part at least, by the end of this week, says the California Fruit News. The sub-committee of five has been working almost day and night lor weeks on the matter and coopera tion of commercial packers and gov ernment agricultiiml authorities ltj felt. It understands, to have been rather dclimtely assured. In order i that the matter might not be dis cussed adversely through any par- ! tial understanding, the whole plan .,. H lrnnf tV, . - MJJl tswili Ul IH IIIUMf MIW lie until it mny be entirely rendv lor promotion. The Inttcr mid Its consequent KlKn.up may be expected within the next two weeks. The latest Information from Ju goslavia Indicates a slightly lamer dried prune production for export than estimated a couple of months ano, to the extent of probably 700 Ions more. The figures, however. re st ill below previous seasons ex cept 1924. Salem Markets Compiled from reports ol Sa lem dealers, for the guidance of Capital Journal readers, (Revised Dally). Wheat.

London, April 21 W At the wool auction sales today prices were firm and trading active for the moderate selection offered which sold at full current rates. Offerings consisted of 6506 bales of which 5159 were sold. BOSTON WOOL Boston. April 21 (UP) Most wool buyers show practically no Interest In making Purchases. An occasional manufacturer, however. Is bidding cautiously. Offers have been made on Ohio Delaine wool that figure under 50 cents, scoured basis, for choice 64s and finer strictly combing staple, but these bids have been rejected. A small quantity of choice strictly combing 48-50s Ohio wool at around 19 cents in the grease or 31 -33c scoured basis. DRIED Fill IT: HOP New York.

HIGHER PRICES PAID FOR PRUNES IN CALIFORNIA The dried fruit market Is steady in most lines and without much change to report this week, with the exception of prunes, says the California Fruit News. A very en couraging situation has occurred in this latter and the market has defi nately started up. Packers are pay ing from cent to Vi cent more In the country to growers, as to size and district from prunes than they were a week ago and packed quota tions on all sizes are higher this week than last, usually U cent ex cept on the very small sizes which are cent up this week. This situa tion seems to result from a com bination of several factors, included in which is a little frost damage to prunes in some sections lost week. the fact that the growing crop as a whole does not look as if it would be a very big one and the growing feeling that some sort of grower's pooling arrangement for prunes win oe wonted out. The present stocks of prunes un sold should undoubtedly bring defi nitely better prices, even under the present weakness in consuming a- bility, and so finely balanced does the situation seem to be that a com bination of small indications easily nroriitfM n nrnnni-Hnnalw Immrt.. ant result.

The foregoing confirms reports in the Journal last week from Cali fornia as to a little stimulation in the nrune market because of frost damage in California with the same reflection here. Quite a bit more optimistic tone prevails even with the small advance. IN WHEAT BELT Washington.
