POURED INTO PORTLAND
[uNIrEp rnrss 1rAanp w1nn.1

Portland, Or, May 27.-As result
of the pouring into the local market Of
gret herds of California, Montana,
Utah, Idaho and local cattle, caused by
the importation of fresh beef from
Australia by California interests there
was severe slump of values of live
stock at North Portland yards today,
During the last "a hours the price of
cattle here has broken fully u cents
per hundred pounds, this being the
greatest decline for a like period this
season and one of the greatest ever
known here and there are indications
of continuation of this condition.
Up to this time the Portland live.
stock market has been the strongest in
the entire country but the record prices
in effect here together with the impor.
tation of the foreign beef by the south
ern cities, has caused general STAN
Ipede Of California and other southwest
ern cattle into the local market
Cattle interests here are very much
depressed as result of this avalnche
Of prices. Consumers will be the only
ones to benefit as result of the i'm
portations of foreign beef, but it has
been many month since the public has
had an opportunity to taste real beef
and the lowering of prices here will be
the signal for much joy. Fresh beef
prices Invariably follow the lead of the
livestock market.
