Portland Union Stockyards, Dec.
21.-Thls is going to be a very dull
week in the local livestock market
from present indications. The holia
days are fast approaching and most
Of the buying for this demand has al
ready been done.
The trade is somewhat surprised at
the liberal number OF cattle coming
forward at this time and this may
hurt the price somewhat If continued
for the week. on this account buy
ers are not inclined to view the mar
ket with much favor although they
have not held back their purchases to
any extent.
Hogs are just about holding their
own although the run Is tapering off
considerably. The trade is now
watching Eastern market fluctuations
with much concern for the prices In
effect there will have considerable
bearing upon this market in the near
future. for from this time forth
packers will be forced to get the bulk
of their hog supplies from east of the
Rockies.
There was quite heavy run OF
sheep IN the yards during the As
hours and the price is just holding
It's own. There is still a lack of best
quality and this Is what has kept the
price from moving upward.
VIII DO Better After Cristmas.
"I believe the hog market here Will
do better after Christmas" said Tom
Benson of r. c. Benson & Son. "The
run Is decreasing somewhat and VIII
probably continue to do so for awhile.
or course the future of the market
here depends somewhat upon what
the Eastern price does as packers
bring I'm a large portion or their sup
plies from there about this time of
the year. / am of the opinion that
prices will hold quite good Cattle
