MEDFOTtD MAIL TRIBUNE, JfEDFORD, OREGON, FRTD'AT, 'APRIL '13, 1932. PAGE TTVT3 PORTLAND, April 15. (tf Plana are again under way to resubmit to the membership ot the Portland Produce Exchange the question uv whether prices should be quoted in even oents or In fractions. Former opposition to the plan of quoting fractional cento wu so great that the proposition wu voted down. Now. with better understanding of the scheme, together with the fact that most of the leading markets are quoting In fractions, some change In sentiment Is Indicated here. There was no change In the mar ket for butter during 'the day. On the -open market cubes moved fairly steady with the late price range. Butterfat prices are steady. Market for eggs continues prac tically the same as during the last couple of weeks. There remains some underselling by outsiders and lor eggs that do not come up to stand ard grading. Practtcally no price changes are reflected In the market for country killed meats. Veal of top quality Is still quotable 9-10c, the latter being an extreme while top hogs are 6c extreme. Trade in the chicken market con tinues to mark time, and generally without price change for the day. Small broilers are still the hard selling feature. Dressed stock spoils during transit, therefore the trade asks that no shipments be made. Markets PORTLAND, Ore., April 15. (p) CATTLE 25, calves 10; quotably steady.

(API Public utilities led a further re covery In the securities market to day.
