East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-06-30


heavy this morning, 644 head of cat
tie, 1905 head of sheep and 3 head
OF horses being brought in. Most OF
yesterdays receipts remaining in the
corral, there was scarcity of space,
and five cars of cattle are on the side
track this afternoon, waiting to be un-
loaded. Relief will be given as soon
as some of the cattle that arrived
yesterday can be placed on cars for
Tacoma, the Carson people having
bought quite a number Of the lot.
Business was brisk at the yards this
morning, lot Of the sheep brought
in having to be weighed and counted,
and for while the brokers were busy
as bees in honey time. A number of
head OF cattle were disposed Of. Ow-
ing to the rush, some of the brokers
did not have time to compile their
transactions today, and hence their
figures were not obtainable but they
will be credited to tomorrow's sales,
which will probably also be large.
Hogs of Poor Quality.
II is said that while hogs bring good
prices, It does not mean lean and
lanky razorbacks, many of which
kind. 1t Is said, are being shipped in
in too large numbers to suit the bro
kers.
Most of the cattle brought in today
came from California, and the remain
der from eastern Oregon. They were
in fair condition. The sheep came
from Willamette valley points and
were also Of fair grade.
II is stated that the last Of Cali
fornia cattle herds are now being
brought here for awhile, as future
shipments of what sales have been
made will be made direct instead of
by way of the local yards The range
In California Is drying up and the
cattle will soon lose condition
