Grass Cattle Arriving

Portland Union Stockyards. Stock
dale, April ll.-Grass cattle from the
south have started in this direction
and one shipment of 10 loads is due
from the south either this evening
or tomorrow
Cattle market is very firm and
while the receipts over Sunday were
light there was no change in quota
tions. The sale Of the Montana
"toppers" at 1925 Saturday has set
a new record in the yards that will be
hard to overtop for all interests say
that such cattle have never before
arrived at this or any other market
OF the Pacific coast.
There was some very ordinary cat
tie in the yards today and for these
buyers would not pay within a frac-
tion n former values although they
seemed still willing to buy toppy stuff.
Bearing Down sheep Prices.
With the better run Of sheep as had
been expected there was q notice
able dlsInclination among buyers to
take hold at former prices, and the
figures accepted were generally about
soc lower than the former range.
Practically all the sheep coming for
ward at this time are sheared, and
therefore this will hereafter be the
basis Of quotations.
Advices received today from the in
terror are to the effect that heavy
supplies will come in this direction
at an early date. The fact that east
erners are again contracting for sheep
at interior points gives rise to the i'm
preston that values during the flush
OF the run will not 20 SO low az usual,
Hogs Sell Higher Again.
An advance OF 15c over previous
prices was quoted for hogs today.
with the sale of one lot of hogs over
Sunday, n total Of 701 head being re-
ceived compared with none a week
ago today
Today's advance in the price of hogs
here was made in the face of another
decline in the east.
