Portland Union Stockyards, Jan. s.
1t was goose eggg In the matter
of arrivals in the local yards during
the past "a hours, for not a single
head of livestock put in appearance.
There is q very firm tone all through
the list, although but little excitement
is noted In regard to sheep. Sellers
say that the price Of sheep is already
up near the top point and even though
late arrivals have been scant buyers
are unwilling to offer more.
While nothing over $4.75 has thus
far been obtainable for top steers the
trade generally is Of the opinion that
higher values will rule in the yards
for the day the demand was good and
an extra 10 or possibly Is could quite
easily have been squeezed out of buy
eis., Everyone wanted cattle and
with condition like this higher
prices are likely to be duplicated
again.
The following is the general range
Of values on stock ruling in the yards
for late shipments.
Hogs-Best east of mountains, $6.25
q6.4O; ordinary. $6Q6.25; blockers
and china fats. $3.50; stockers and
feeders, IS.
Cattle-Best steers Weighing 1900
pounds, $4.50Q4.75; medium steers,
S425; poor steers, $3.50; best cows,
1915 a $50; medium cows, also
$50.
Sheep-Best wethers, $475@5; or
dinary wethers, $3.50; lambs, $4.750
8; straight ewes. $425Q4.5O; mixed
lots, 81.
Veal-Choice, young calves, $4,000
s; heavy rough, $780,.
Little Doing I'm Grain.
Portland, Jan. 5.-There is little do
ing in the local grain trade. All lines
are showing firmness. The cash sit
uation just now is very strong and 1t
Is a question just now what price
would be offered for supplies were
producers willing to let go. On the
board of trade there was an advance
Of y in the bid for January and
February wheat, but asked prices were
unchanged. However, the general
opinion of the trade is that very little
wheat could be secured at todays
asked prices.
Coarse grains are firm and un-
changed both here and in San Fran
cisco today.
Millfeeds are holding steady, but
not strong. From San Francisco there
is little demand for feeds because OF
the Japanese competition.
Chicago Wheat Takes Drop.
Chicago. Jan. 5.-The action OF the |
wheat market here today was a sur
prise to the trade in general. There
was a steady to firm opening at exact
ly the same prices on the various op-
tions as bid last night at the closing
but this showing of steadiness soon
gave way to excessive weakness from
which the price showed no signs of
the slightest recovery.
Exceedingly good reports continue
to come from the various American
crop sections and to date practically
no damage Of any kind has been re-
ported. While nothing Of favorable
nature is at present coming from the
Argentina the news from there is not
construed as bearish toward the price
by foreigners the local trade was in
clined to sell. At Liverpool the mar
ket was firm with advanced prices
ct the closing. Paris closed with an
advance Of Y centime.

Roosevelt sent to congress today q
special message transmitting the re-
port of the country life commission,
appointed by him TO investigate the
conditions of life on the farms of the
country and TO make recommendations
of ways and means whereby farm life
may be made more remunerative and
attractive.
In the message the president lays
stress upon the fact that the farmers
and their families are the stay and
strength of the country and that what
ever tends to make their lives less
burdensome or unattractive is neces-
He praises the work of the members
of the commission. who, as he says,
have labored without pay and do not
now ask compensation for their work.
The only recommendation in the mes
sage is the request for an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to enable the commits
sion to digest the material 1t has col

To the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatives:
I transmit herewith the report of the
commission on country life. At thu
outset l desire to point out that no
q dollar of the public money has bce-
paid to any commissioner for his wori
on the commission.
The report shows the general condi

1t indicates ways in which the govern
ment, national and state, may SHOW
the people how to solve some of thes'
problems, and it suggests a continu

Methods Of the Commission.

which farmers and farmers wive
from forty states and territories came
and from 10000 answers to printe,
questions sent out by the department
of agriculture. the commission find
