Portland Union Stock Yards Co. re-
ports as follows:
Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle, 1850; calves, 1863; hogs, 1908;
sheep, 1862; horses, Al.
There was no appreciable change in
the cattle market and the receipts did
not give buyers an opportunity to have
to say about prices. There was
active competition for anything that
was offered and the market ran strong.
irresponsible market reporters are con-
stantly directing attention to the great
difference between the cattle prices on
this market and similar market centers
at eastern points. This transformation
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 a
matter of fact, quality considered, the
average cost of the cattle droves pur-
chased by packers and killers on this
market are higher than at any other
point in the United States. 1t must
be borne in mind that an exceptionally
low price does not constitute the mar
ket. The bulk of sales made constitute
the market. For instance, the top
steers sold for 81; the bulk Of the sales
were around 1878 for CRASHED cattle.
The hog market took an upward turn
and tops sold at 10c above the high
point of the week previous. The bulk
of the sales were around $685. to $s40.
The sheep market was trifle easier.
The average quality of the offerings
was not as good as the week before, but
even at that there was lower tone
throughout.

tive: Steers, $6.15@7 90; feeders, $500;
heifers, $5.S5; cows, $5.50@5.75; calves,
