East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-03-10


tone in the local cattle situation
While 1t still may be possible to Sc
cure as high as 1926 for select steers
none that will bring that figure have
been received here during the past
few days There was quite liberal
run of cattle In the yards during the
past "a hours and this had a quiet
ing effect upon the buying. Killers
are still holding back their purchases
not so much to force a lower level OF
values, for this is scarcely what they
want when they have a lot of high
priced stuff already on hand, but they
are using their surplus simuly be-
cause they believe the market has
well nigh reached its top. The best
price obtainable for steers today was
IS. but the grade sold could scarcely
be considered first class. Taking the
stock sold as a basis, however, for
what the market for best quality is,
It would fix the extreme top at $5.15.
Grain at Board of Trade.
While the bids today on the Port
land board of trade show a decline Of
1c a bushel for both March and APP
ril deliveries, there is a firmer tone
for the cash stuff and $1.20 is now
being quite freely bid for bluestem
wheat by California and local millers,
but so far as known no supplies OF
this grade are available for market
under s125 a bushel.
In the local cash market millers
of this territory and the south are
likewise anxious to take on addition
al supplies of club and therefore are
bidding s1.Os a bushel. but are find
ing few holders who seem willing to
let go
Coarse grains are firmer although
no change was today shown in prices
for either oats or barley, cash or fu-
ture delivery.
Flour market Is very firm but mill
lers seem to have made up their
minds not TO advance the price now
because they fear the influx Of east
ern hard wheat flour. Conditions in
the orient are not favorable TO any
advance in export brands. one promi-
nent authority stating today that it
was hard enough for the orient to get
enough money to pay prevailing quo
tatlons.
