Portland.
Portland Union Stock Yards Co. re-
ports receipts for the week have been,
cattle, 1904; calves, 2; hogs, 1913;
sheep, 9,174.
The receipts here last Monday in
cluded $50 cattle, 1900 hogs and $500
sheep. This was the largest single
days receipts since the stock yards
we're established in September, 1909.
Swine and sheep prices started of the
week in strong position, and in some
instances advanced sharply over re-
cent levels, but cattle values were
spotty, due to wide range in quality
and narrow outlet. One load of
prime steers sold at So and few
more at SITS to $7.85. The remainder
Of medium to choice beeves averaged
from $7.45 to $7.7O. Demand has been
slow for steers and buyers bids
forced. Killers have a good-sized sur
plus on hand and it required extra
choice beef to bring $7.25 to $3.50.
Butcher stock is in better demand than
steers, but is not as firm at the week
end as 1t was at the beginning. Pack
ers are short-handed on choice stuff,
which has been a scarce article. Heif-
ers are firm and stays found quick sale
Beef price tendency is weak. demand
slow and outlet narrow.
Over 5000 swine have arrived on
the market in six days, but the trade
has absorbed the supply at steady to
higher prices. The bulk of prime light
hogs has been selling from So to $50
with few loads at $s.15 to $500. An
other big supply came in on the week
end stock train; $s.O5 was the price
up to Friday noon.
The sheep market is showing i'm
provement as the winter wears along,
and while liquidation was record
breaking, outlet was broad enough to
discount 1t and both mutton and lambs
sold higher. Prime wethers realize
from $3.50 to $500 and ewes $4.25 to
$3.50. Lambs brought $685. at mar
ket's close and there is an unsatisfied
call for fancy stock at that price.
Tacoma.
Wheat-The wheat market is hold
ing very quiet. While there is very
little Offering, following the turn Of
the year, at first hand, the lack of ex-
port demand Is the most pronounced
deterrent to operations. With the
subsistence of buying from Japan, the
outlet Is restricted to narrow lines.
Europe has no requirements to be
filled, apparently, at the figure de-
manded from North Pacific markets,
and, while one cargo is being loaded
for that destination at present, 1t Is
going forward for orders. This has
had tendency to weaken the under
tone Of club wheat, which is quoting
nominally at sec, with bluestem at csc.
The inclination continues pronounced,
however, to hold for top figures, with
confidence in the situation augmented
by developments which tend to indi-
cate that the northwest crop was con.
stderably under the after-harvest esti.
