OF interest is the butter situation not
alone locally, but to the coast generally
! the conditions prevailing in Los An
will remain in the market during the
remainder Of the season, and higher
prices will follow until so cents a roll
50 sanguine Of conditions that they pre-
dict 80 cents BY. next fall.
AS a straw the fact Is cited that yes
terday only 1900 pounds arrived from
and dairy. This went into trade chan
nels at once and before night hardly 4
case rernalned unsold.s From the Selma
country GO and valley points only about A.
suflcient to meet the ordinary demands,
causing about A tons of creamery to be
taken from storage.
Demand is reported the best in months
with many back orders not filled of cur
rent dates, Shipping to Arizona and Ne
vada and the southern markets is also
active. while the beach trade has
Jumped fully 20 per cent in two weeks.
With this enormous demand and lighter
output in the coast sections (and this out

and IL all eastern markets raid the mar

are asking where supplies WIN come
believing that butter will remain at

ranch eggs were reported received for

This caused the egg quotation committee
to keep selling prices at 22o for local
ranch 19c for northern and 10000 for
