higher range.
Views Of the Sellers.
S. P. Gould Of Gould Commission

to sell today. arrivals being very
small. The market is all right on
everything except hogs and these are
weak with prices down to $6.50Q
6.75 for best Killers have a big sup
ply on hand.
Tom Benson of T. C. Benson & Son
Very light arrivals are shown In
the yards today and there is little in
terest in the market on this account.
Demand Is good and about the same
for cattle and sheep, but hogs are
weak with every one seemingly filled
up Poor quality is likewise shown
among late hog arrivals.
Lee NJ. Lacey of Hunt and Lacey.
1t was a lame day in the livestock
market Conditions are justabout as
reported yesterday with nominal run
today. Hogs are quiet but other lines
are holding we'll.
William Burke, jr., for ]. c. Loner-
gany-Hogs are not so active but cat
tie and sheep remain all right, espe-
cially for the better class of stuff. Al
cattle are hard to get and top prices
still prevail.

yards this morning and market is
very weak. Poor cattle are off about

Fortyfold Is High.
Portland. Feb. 5.-There is a much
frmer tone in the flour market. Re-
cent purchases have been much more
liberal in anticipation of another ad-
vance Of 25c a barrel in the price.
Millers are on the fence regarding
any future movement of prices, but
say that considering the price OF
wheat the present flour market Isl
low. on the other hand there has
been considerable decrease in the
consumption of flour since the prices
became so high and II values go still
higher It is a question where millers
will unload their supplies.
In an expert way there Is nothing
at all doing in the flour market. BUS
mess has continued quieter this sea-
son than for any period of like dura-
tion since oriental flour business be- |
came established.
Wheat market Is firm but nominal
with reports of sales around top
prices It is stated that one lot of
fortyfold has been sold during the
past "a hours at $1.01 a bushel. The !
big people who have all the wheat
are buying lot here and there when
possible but are not talking much of
any advance.
SO far as coarse grains are concern |
ed there is no change in the situation,
all values being held firm.
Weakness Abroad.

caused mixed tone at the opening of |
the wheat market here today, May !
