Portland, April 30.-Flour which
the Pacific coast mlllers were over
anxious to sell to the orient early in
the season at prices that did not in
many instances pay for the cost of
wheat and grinding, much less
profit TO the miller, is actually being
brought back by American flour men
and VIII soon cross the Pacific by
steamer and then go by rail to the
east.
This flour will net the oriental
buyer-seller just about S1.5O a barrel
and as he does not have the trade foI
such n high-priced aricle is quite WILL
ing to let go and allow his native
friends to again eat rice for a while.
This is the first time in the history
of oriental flour shipments that
flour sold to the orient has been re-
sold to American buyers and then re-
sold again to eastern parties, each
party concerned in the transaction Sc
curing handsome profits.
Hogs and Cattle Firm.
A very strong tone remains in 9TH
er lines of livestock except sheep, and
prices are generally maintained at
the top. For cattle the demand con-
tinues brisk, with only small show
ing OF arrivals for the past "a hours.
Top steers have been sold at $565
but no higher, although some inter-
ests are still Of the opinion that this
price can be stretched a fraction If
the proper quality was shown. How
ever, the sales at s5.65 were for first
class stock
