s6. 60 and the best ewes were disposed
Of at SA.60.
Livestock men here are beginning
TO show uneasiness over the spread OF
foot and mouth disease. as there are
unconfirfned reports that II 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 los
bales, at Champoeg, was sold to the
Uhlmanns at 10 cents.
