A slight decrease was shown in the
movement OF cattle toward the North
Portland market for the week. Total
run was 1447 head compared with
1927 last week and $50 head year
ago.
In general the cattle market situa-
tion here was steady for the week.
A very limited business in selected
steers was done at 81, but the bulk
of the offerings went closer to $3.50
for good quality Poor stuff received
no quarter in the cattle trade for the
week.

just now. Last Tuesday evening the
presentation Of Tennyson's fine poem,

a larger house than witnessed the pro-

unsuual amount of care on the part of
the producers.
