Butter. Cheese and Eggs.

There are large orders on the market for
full-weight Butter for the north. Light
weights are not wanted for this business If
full weights can be had, as Oregon has a law
requiring Butter package weights to be in even
pounds hence Portland will not take our H
ID squares Washington. too, will not take
them If it can get the fuli-weight squares As
this northern business is very important and
helps this market out OF many hole when 1t
gets overloaded, 1t would seem to be nothing
moro than common business sense for our But
ter producers to put up their goods in full
weight squares. The market Is steady IN the
face OF heavy receipts in consequences OF these
