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.

In the passing upon the motion
Judge Walker stated that he knew
he would be called upon to rule
upon the points brought tip and
consequently nad Riven special at
tentlon and considerable considera
tion to the evidence given by wit
nesses. He expressed the belief thai
there had been sufficient evidence
presented to place the matter be
fore the Jury and It was up to that
body and not the court to deride if
tne company had been formed with
intent to deiraud.
"That the men were acting to
gether and had a scheme is evi
dent, but whether the scheme was
good or bad Is not for this court
to say," Judse Walker told the at
torneys. "There had to be a scheme
or plan before the company could
be formed for the purpose of selling
stock. If It was planned In good
faith the defendants are not guil

Coast egg prices remained prac
tlcally unchanged for the week

of eggs continued, bringing coast
holdings about. even with the two
preceding years. Although reports
from eastern centers show storage
accumulations falling still farther
behind ltst year. These light hold
lngs In other parts of the United
States give many packers the opin
ion that prospects for storage eggs
are .favorable. .

kets Increased materially this last
week although low retail prices
tended to maintain satisfactory
general consumption.
Pacific coast feed markets de.
veloped further strength during the
week, the report continues, with
prices on wheat feeds advancing 50
cents to $1.50 per ton at principal
distributing centers. At most of the
large eastern markets, however,

Portland, April 31 (LP) Little hope
of resumption of activitiea In the

the opening of the Columbia river
commercial fishing season on May

market editor of the Journal
The market for better grades of
the fish is extremely slow, and al
though the Umpqua season is now
open the reports from that vicinity
show very few fish are being taken.
No fish are reported from Coos Bay

cilitate wheat and cotton exports.
Immediate fresh demand for
North American wheat to be ship
ped overseas was only fair, and
price bulges failed to hold well. At
one stage, September corn today
outdid the season's low price record.
Wheat closed unsettled, -"S to

off to '.a to up, oats at to l
advance, and provisions unchanged
to a rise of 7 cents.
Grain values averaged higher to
day, influenced by bullish aspects

from Texas to Nebraska. Notice
also was taken of estimates putting
the Canadian wheat carryover ac
104,000,000 bushels, the smallest
since 1928 and 30,000.000 bushels
less than July 31, 1931. Opening

Corn started unchanged to ofl

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

week and not so plentiful tn un
sold supplies as some have thought.
In fact, prune factors there advise
that they are unable to find unsold
the quantities that might be ex -
pected from a consideration of tin
for some time past slow market,
and so that situation seems stronger
this week.
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.
