(AP) Ad vances of to 3 J-ic lb. on the pro duce exchange for butter during the last session was somewhat of a forced affair. Outside Interests were unable to check tne strength of the trade here. Fully lc lb. premium has been offered and paid on the open market for supplies over what the exchange previously quoted for cubes, forcing the depressing Interests out of com mission. The new price of 24c for extra cubes here placed Portland prices close to the point where supply and demand Justified them. Portland again takes leadership of the price situation despite attempts to hold down values here. The price of butterfat was auto matically advanced with butter. Livestock PrnTAND, Ore.. July 6.
