Portland Union Stock Yards Co. re-
ports market as follows: Receipts for
the week have been 2013 cattle, SO
calves, 1898 hogs, 2041 sheep and 125
horses.
The cattle market has been somewhat
spotted throughout the week, with
fairly high range of values. Buyers
supplied the greater part of their wants
from Mondays offerings, and were not
quite so eager the rest of the week, al
though the break in the market did
not generally exceed 15c. Even in the
face of that some especially good ami
mails went over the scales at prices that
were equal to Mondays best Butcher
cattle sold highest. Bulls sold as high
as $3.50, and with cows selling from
$565@6.00 shippers were able to con-
graduate themselves on the range of
values.
The hog market showed a stronger
and higher tendency during the week.
Heavys sold at $3.50, with medium
packing as high as $40. There was
not a sufficient supply, and while the
receipts from local territory showed a
distinct improvement over the same
period of last year there is evidence
of an early necessity of packers being
compelled to 90 East and pay more
than hogs are really worth in order to
meet the demand for pork and its prod
ucts.
The sheep market has been high and
strong, with a greater demand than
supply.
