BUTTER ADVANCING
A LOCAL DEALER GIVES SOME
REASONS FOR TAG
RISE.
The price of creamery butter took
another, advance Jn tlie Salem 'market
yesterday., and now If you want to use
butter on your hot-cakes or bread you
must do so at the rate of 35 Cents a
pound. ,
When afkod J5ie reason , for such s
r:irr price for butur.thls season, a
weli-kiMJwn dcitlcr said yesterday:
"Thtlre .ls a big demand , Tor butter
now; In fact, greater than: ever before.
Most' of the creameries this side of
Portland are selling their output right
in the Willamette valley and Southern
Oregon, Not a pound, of Marlon coun
ty biHter has gone to the Portland
market for over six weeks. AH of the
creameries south of Salem find ready
demand for their produce In the vally
cities and towns, and such a condition
will exist for some time to vome. You
don't see much Voontry" butter in. the
Salem stores, do:yuU?The long dr.y
sell caused pasture to g4 ry low
and- the -quantity' of tnllk and cream
was affected accordingly. The cold
storage butter isnearly all gone. ,
"Another thing, you must remember,"
said this dealer,, "there has. bwii a
large number of f Immigrants In Ore
gon for several months, past: they all
have money and. of course, eat plenty
of butter. I believe the quotation for
butter wlll.be still higher Inside of a
week or ten days."
