ports as follows:
Receipts for the week have been.
Cattle, 1850; calves, 1853; hogs, 1908
sheep, 1862; horses, Al.
There was no appreciate change il
the cattle market and the receipts die
not give buyers an opportunity to have
much to say about prices. There wa
active competition for anything tina
was offered and the market ran strong
irresponsible market reporters are con
stantly directing attention to the great
difference between the cattle prices OF
this market and similar market center
at eastern points. This misinformatioI
has no influence with the regular pat
rons of this market who have been com
ing regularly since it was established
but country buyers use this in keeping
shippers away from Portland. AS
matter of fact, quality considered, thu
average cost of the cattle droves pur
chased by packers and killers on thi
market are higher than at any othe
point in the United States. 1t mus
be borne in mind that an EXCEPTIONAL.
low price does not constitute the mar
ket. The bulk. of sales made constitute
the market. For instance, the to-
steers sold for 81; the bulk of the sale
were around $6.75 for CRASHED cattle
The hog market took an upward turl
and tops sold at Toe above the higI
point of the week previous. The bull
of the sales were around 1886 to $40
The sheep market was a tri1e easier
The average quality of the offering
was not as good as the week before, bu
even at that there was a lower ton
throughout.
