CATTLE MARKET
THE OUTLOOK is NOT VERY
ENCOURAGING.
as Viewed by a We'll
Known StOckman of But.
ter Creek.


and feeders OF Butte, creek were
in the city Saturday.
Mr.. Thompson mad Just re-
turned from trip over the cattle
districts where he bad been look
ing over the situation and to get
in touch with the conditions. In
the lzee country in Grant county,
Mr.. Thompson found considerable
activity.
y. q. LOnergan, a representative
of the Frye Bruhm people Of Sc
attle, has beep in the lee and
Bear Valley country and has made
some big purchases. He has con-
tracted for about 1000 head of
cattle at prices ranging from So for
COWS to S2.4O for steers ready for
the butchers block. About $780,
600 will change hands in this
transaction. The cattle will be
shipped from Pendleton about the
18th of next month.
Stan6eld Brothers of Butter
creek we're also buying in the Izee
country where they secured be-
tween 400 and 500 head paying
ing about the same as the Seattle
| firm.
Mr.. Thompson stated that in
Morrow and Umatilla counties the
prospects are far from encourag-
ing, especially for the feeders. In
the two counties last named the
cattle are inferior to the Izee stock |
from the fact that they are not in
as good condition, while owners
are holding above beef prices in
asking from $2.78 to $500. Mr..
Thompson said that this is more
than would justify feeders to pay.
The Umatilla Meadows and
Butter creek valley are the prin-
cipal feeding places in Umatilla
and Morrow counties. In these
districts there will probably be in
the neighborhood of 1000 cattle
fed. These feeders are now about
half supplied.
In speaking of the conditions on
Butter creek, Mr. Thompson said:
"The price that is held for now
will force feeders to take cattle ,
from buyers who have already ,
purchased to feed at stated price ,
per month, or we will 20 further ,
south and try to buy there. The ,
feeders got such hard jolt last ,
winter that they are rather timid ,
about taking hold Of high priced ,
cattle.'
The hay crop on Butter creek I
this season was very heavy and I
quite lot has already been sold. I
Five dollars per ton is the ruling I
price and in the neighborhood of I
5000 tons has changed hands at I
hat price. I
When asked his opinion of I
he conditions in the immediate Z
uture Mr.. Thompson continued: I
"From the standpoint of a feed I
II the outlook is very poor, in fact, I
