10 CCLGii1oa OK Klc butter market Is
just now receiving considerable attention
from local commission men who handle
the article 1t ID not an EASY matter at
any time 70 tell the truth about the gem
eral condition OF the local market ona
commission man win say one thing and ons
another and a third will tell YOU sogiefhsa =
else. But when IL comes to telling about
TIE butter situation It - still more difficult.
for the rsason that the product IL corr
trolied by two fobbing houses yast at
present one Of these nouses--.Baggs 4 Ca
insists that the butter market is frm:
thai they can handle eli the butter they
receive and more, too, and that they ind
IL difficult 10 supply their customers The
same house further claims that in order
butter they were compelled 70 charge them
u cents. The house claims that ssse butter
OF one western Washington creamery JOBS
constantly IN need OF Washington cream
cry butter. The claims Of this house have
been responsible for the statements in
these columns that butter Is stiff and that
tia price Is likely to advance.
The other house. which deals in butter
and which has It's headquarters on West
ern avenue, takes exception 10 the state
ment that the market Is ssiH and that
prices VIII advance 1t is claimed by that
house that there is plenty of Washington
supply greatly exceeds the demand, that it
will furnish Washington creamery butter
house saws further that It win supply the
other iobbing house with tina same butter
at even lower fisure than 10 cents
The other house says that the Western
avenue house has been called upon By
them TO give them sufficient butter with
which to meet demands and has been un-
In view Of these contradictory claims
1t - q little difficult to tell the truth about
the condition Cf the local butter market
but il IS safe TO say that creameries that
ship their butter To the city Will not have
IL returned because there Is no demand for
IL. Regardless Of whether the statement
that the supply of butter greatly exceeds
the demand Is true or false, the fact re-
mains that butter has advanced cent
during the past two weeks. and there IS
no talk Of II going back to the old price.
