NORTHWEST MARKET
REPORTS.

Portland - There is firm market \
for all kinds of livestock at the North /
Portland yards, particularly for hogs.
The run in one day was heavy, amount
ing to 81 cars, all told, and buying was
brisk.
Cattle were traded in within the
former range Of quotations. Full loads
of steers sold at prices running from
Sc. 10 to s7.15, and the bulk of the
COW sales were at IS. so to 1925.
Forty loads of hogs were handled
during one day. A full dozen of these
sold at $7.15, about 20 loads at s7.10.
and the remainder at s7.05 and 81.
Heavy hogs went at the usual differ
ence in pirce.
The tendency Of the sheep market
is upward. The quotation on choice
lambs advanced to s6.35, and one
brought s6.40. Wethers sold up to
SIS. so and the best ewes were disposed
of at s4.60.
Livestock men here are beginning
to show uneasiness over the spread of
foot and mouth disease, as there are
unconfrmed reports that it had been
found in Montana, from whence Port
land has been bringing cattle. Specu-
lation, therefore, has been checked.
The stoppage of cattle from that sec
tion, however, would probably not
affect prices here, as there would be
no shortage in the supply.
The demand for hops at recent
prices continues limited, most of the
dealers have offers, but the majority
of these are said to be at lower scale
of prices. The Cosgrove lot of l58
bales, at Champoeg, was sold to the
Uhlmanns at 10 cents.
Official government returns of the
1914 German hop crop are 464, 1872
cwt., grown on 27,685 hektares, as
against 212,358 cwts. from 27,04e
hektars under cultivation in 1913 and
All, 270 cwts. from &C. hektars in
1912.
