East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-07-01

Portland, June 39-Both receipts
and sales were heavy today. Too
many feeders are being brought in
and commission men ask that no
more be shipped until upon advice
from them. They say hog ralsers
should not overlook the fact that
feed is high here and that the stock
| will eat their heads off before they
can be sold. There is a good, strong
demand for fat solid hogs at cents,
and II Is said even IA would prob
ably be obtainable for first class
stock. Some hard wheat fattened
hogs from eastern Oregon have been
| sold here this week for cents and
more Of that kind could readily be
handled, but this does not mean thin
and lanky feeders. The yards are
overstocked with feeders and to pre-
, vent losses, commission men ask that
no more be shipped In for a while
at least.
Hunt & Lacey sold 10 carloads of
stock today. one Of the biggest days
transactions for some time. Benson,
too, did a big business In both cattle
and lambs. The market is reported
steady and firm. The cattle that came
in today were consigned mostly to
Benson and came from eastern Ore
gon.
With such heavy receipts the
yards are pretty we'll crowded and
the commission men look eagerly
forward to September l. when 1t is
intended to have the new stock
yards on the peninsula ready for bus
mess Under existing conditions bus
mess is much hampered by lack of
space.
Wheat in Chicago.
Chicago, June 30.-Wheat was
steady today with a rather feature
less market Reports from Column
bia, Mo- to the effect that six inch
es of rain during the week is flooding
the bottoms and reports of damage
to crops I'm Kansas from continued
rains also had a strengthening effect
on futures as did also the cable from
Liverpool announcing wheat from 1-2
t. 5-S higher there. From Mime
apolis came the report that local
wheat stocks there have been de-
creased 225,000 bushels in four days.
Winnipeg reports wheat crop condi-
tions good in the Canadian northwest
