Portland Butter ia going to be an expensive luxury in the Portland mar ket in the coming fall and winter. A dollar a toll or moie will befoie long be the price charged at the retail stores. The price la now 80 cents, and during the remainder of the year the advance is certain to be steady. utter prices are rising all over the country. The consumption, taken as a whole, exceeds the production, and for this reason but little surplus butter has been put Into cold storage during the fludh season in ths big butter centers of the United States. The current make, until next spring, will have to satisfy all requirement, and as the produc tion naturally lesern at thia time of year, the natural result Is a rise in prices. Two weeks ago the Portland market was raised 2 cents, to 32S,' cents a money pounu vi wiiuieeaie. inn umciaia ui the llaxelwood Cream company, at its lust meeting, decided on another 2' cent advance. As all the city creamery companies are running shorter than last month, the new price will prob ably be general Immediately. Latt year at this time the highest wholesale price of butter in Portland was 32 cents, and the 35-cent mark was not reached until December 6. Two years ago at this time butter was wotth 30 cents, and the highest price in that year was 32,'i cents wholesale.

The Moorish authorities ave practically no control over the ltuatlop There are many complaints among the tMiropeans that France acted ill advisedly at Casa Blanca in bom could be arranged for the Jewa and Europeans there and elsewhere on the const and in the Interior. The news from Casa Blanca as to the situation there today unites In showing that the bombardment was continued for longer than was first supposed and that the lack of an adequate French force to afford pro tection resulted in an opportunity for barbarous looting, rapine and pillage, with all the accompaniments of murder and horror. The French landing parties could not control the situation. Moorlxh authority van lulled with the first French gunshot and lawIensneBS reigned.

A bill In equity which calls upon the American Bugar Kefinlng company to give an ac counting of its businees for the past fcur years waa filed before Chancellor Magee today on behalf of George II. Karl, Jr., receiver of the Pennsylvania tiugar Kenning company, of Philadel phia. The suit, it is said, is the only one oiihe kind ever riled in this coun try, and the step taken by the Pennsyl vania company may he the means ol opening an entire new field for investi gating trusts. The suit is separate from that lor $30,000,000 damages which Mr. Karl instituted against the American Sugar Kenning company, of New iork. Mr. Earl holds that in procuring the controlling interest in the Pennsylvania company in 1903, the company became a trustee for the concern and is respon sible to it for am accounting, although the American company never operated the opposition company's plants.

New York, Aug. 9. The Jack tars of the United Statea navy have made auch a mighty protest against the time-honored headgear and blouse they wear ashore and on dress occa sions aboard ship that the navy de partment has appointed a committee to decide on changes In the uniform Captain Hugo Oaterhsiis, commander of the battleship Connecticut, la chairman of thia committee. Captain Osterbaus has sent out a statement to the captains of all warships in the North Atlantic squadron and to the commander of every ship In the ser vice, asking for suggestions. The enlisted men are desirous of obtaining coats and visor caps. Many of them want the wide flaring trous ers changed Into the ordinary pat tern. But the chief grlevnnce relates to the blouses and the old-fashioned pancake cape. These caps sre said by all aeamen to be absolutely useless on a windy day, as they cannot be kept on the head. They afford no shade to the eyes and seem to exist merely as a relic of the past. The protest over the blouse Is con sidered well Justified in the navy. In the first ploce the seamen object to the wide collar, which blows up around their ears on windy days. They want shorter neckerchiefs and coats but like those of marines. Protect O. R. At N.
