VI hhhANi' d
ports of Foreign Wheat Conditions.
Portland, June 1.-THE cattle mar
ket is down sc today, with the extreme
top for steers at $3.50 and only extra
select quality would bring that figure.
Taking the general arrivals into con-
sideration today's prices are about 25c
lower than yesterday. The overfull
condition Of killers pens continues and
while the buyers are not willing to
bid up for ordinary quality, they are
really anxious to secure select stuff
and therefore shippers are able to
secure better price.
Sheep Drop Again.
Another reduction of 25c Is today
shown in the local sheep market. Con-
tinued. heavy offerings with a general
disinclination among buyers to get in
to activity causes a downward trend
in the general situation. Run Of sheep
for the day totaled $50 head compar-
ing with 492 yesterday, S25 Wednes-
day, 7S6 Tuesday, 374 Monday, 667
Saturday. and 752 a week ago today.
Sheep quality at this time Is quite
good anr the buying is better than
would have been the case We're the
SUPPLIES not so pgood. Leading killers
are so full of sheep at this time that
they are taking every advantage OF
the situation. Local people took on
several small lots and Puget sound
hackers took about an equal amount
during the day.
Few Hogs Arrive.
No improvement was shown In the
run Of hogs into the yerds during the
past "a hours. Receipts showed
nominal 27 head coming with but 10
head more yesterday. 175 Wednes-
day. an equal amount Tuesday, none
Monday. 226 Saturday and 157 head
week ago today.
Hog prices continue very firm with
the small showing of supplies and
killers are stll offering 1915 for top
stuff with not enough coming to fill
the requirements of one small pack
ing concern: OF alone giving enough
hogs to supply the entire Pacific
northwest.
Wheat Conditions Abroad.
Liverpool, June 1.-THE decline in
wheat is due to weakness in outside
markets. Drought keeps in Hungary
| Russia-Good rains have fallen
throughout the southwest. The crops
have suffered some but think a fair
harvest is assured.
Our Argentine agent cables that
more rain has fallen in the province
of Santa Fe and the north and west
ern districts of Buenos Ayres, but no
rain has fallen as yet in the neigh
borhood Of Bahia Blanca.
