PRICE TO BE EXHIBITED

(Monday's Journal.)

Idaho, ]. c. Lonergan being the buy
er. Mr.. Lonergan will feed the COW
at the stockyards for exhibition at the
fat stock show.
One select lot Of steers brought for
ward from Shanko by ]. E. Rey-
nolds sold at much higher prices to-
day. One bull that weighed 1890
pounds went to a new high record at
$5.25, while cows reached a record
for the present movement at $5.75.
The shipment was fed by R. R.. Hin
ton of Shaniko and was in fine con-
dition.
Record Breaker Run.
Today's run of cattle in the yards
was a record breaker, but consider
ing this the market was extremely
well behaved and prices did not suf-
fer during initial transactions when
ever quality was presented.
Only two loads of hogs came ror-
ward and these were for through
shipment to Seattle, not having en-
tered the local trade at all. The fact
that a further break in prices is show
ing in the east will likely have an
effect upon the trade here. At Oma-
ha there was a loss of 15c, with the
landing price of Nebraska hogs here
at IS, while Chicago was dime
lower than Saturday with a huge run
appearing.
The run of sheep was quite heavy
and entirely from Idaho.
Most of the cattle tnat came for
ward were from outside points The
| hiRpaGt do Noll
Kidwell & Caswell bringing in I3
loads from there. These were of gem
orally good quality.

Flour Reduced.
| Probabilities are for a further re-
duction of zoe a barrel in the price
of patent flour here.
The market for flour is weak and
with all interests expecting a reduc-
ton it will likely be forced. Mllers
believe that reduction of zoe is like
ly after which the market will
strengthen and the next movement
will be an advance.
While there are reports of great
amounts, of export flour selling to
the orient millers say that trade
so Slow tnat they are seriously consid-
ering the closing of their plants at an
early date. The situation on the
sound is very similar to the one here
and it is stated that the Tacoma plant
of the Centennial Milling company
was scheduled to close today for an
indefinite period. There are said to
be quite few orders on hand to op-
crate the Centennial mill at Seattle
on half time but even this plant is
likely to follow the Tacoma mill into
retirement unless there is an i'm
provement in the situation.
Wheat prices are at present on a
price of patent zoe a barrel, but
grinders say they are unable to pur-
chase more than a nominal supply al
prevailing figures because farmers
will not let go. The movement to-
ward tidewater all week was ono OF
the smallest since the season started
While a reduction in patents is
probable, export figures are likely &c
l t,, . ~
ton in export is out of the question
even though they were able to pur,
chase wheat at present figures. Only
losses would result in further price
concession.
Oats market is quiet but general,
considered steady at $27 to $3.50 {
ton.
Barley is steady at S2S@2S.5O fot
