were the only class which showed
steadiness. Nearly all steer offerings
graded a shade short of prime selling
at $7.75 down to 1925, with one small
lot at S. Tops are considered steady
at $7.7O to $7.75. Butcher stock has
been slow, due to lack of quality, but
demand is not very broad for the best
Although an urgent call for prime
calves rules, receipts have been insig-
nificant A good bull trade at steady
prices shared butcher division activ-
ity with COWS. Generally the cattle
market is steady with downward ten
dency.
The hog market is rapidly advanc-
ing to the so level of two years ago.

leads of prime light swine and they
all brought $s.75 bids from anxious
buyers. Weeks total gain has been
approximately so cents. Receipts have
been light and demand firm. Port
land is again the highest hog market
in the country.
The sheep house furnished several
surprises this week. Mutton and lamb
markets have been shaky for the last

for prime yearlings, ewes and lambs.
, They at least gave top prices for sew
eral cars, 1928 to $685. for yeariings,
1925 for ewes, 81 and 1925 for lambs
Packers were evidently caught short
handed and as the annual spring run
of sheared stock is slow coming they
grasped the opportunity to get a tenn
porary surplus. The result being q
