(From Tuesdays Journal)
Prospects are exceedingly bright
for further boost in swine values
at North Portland, but until definite
transactions are available it would be
unwise to state what the advance will
be. With hogs selling at higher
price at eastern centers, thus forcing
Pacific northwest packers to pay
more for their stock, it develops that
these interests will in turn be forced
to boost the local market in order
to come out right with their higher
priced eastern shipments.
There was no run of hogs in the
local yards today and this following
the small supply of yesterday lef the
trade in the strongest position of the
season. So few hogs have been re-
ceived here from the east recently that
killers have been forced to seek stock
on the North Portland market.
There was further advance of n
nickel in the price OF hogs in the
Chicago yards today, placing the tor
at 1896. This was for mixed offer.
