HOG PRICES ARE RAISED
ON PORTLAND MARKET
Go Up Five Heaviest Run of
Cattle on Portland Market In Its
History Last Month.

The heavy demand for porkers con-
tinued Wednesday both from butchers
and packers, says the Portland Live
stock Reporter All sales were made
on about the same level as the previ-
GUS day. One load brought $9.65, with
another load at $3.50. The bulk price
of 1885 was five cents higher than
Tuesday. Quality of yesterdays run
was very good, there being but a few
pigs and habitat hogs offered the
trade.
Today's run was the largest since
Monday, with liberal supplies reported
for the afternoon trading. Demand
was good and sales were fully steady
with yesterday.
Values in the sheep house remain
practically unchanged with but light
receipts coming each day. Practically
everything being offered is from the
valley and southern Oregon points.
Several sales of valley lambs were
made at a good advance yesterday,
bringing SS.65 and $3.50. A string of
lambs with but a short growth of wool
crossed the scales at $3.50. A bunch
Of wethers brought $755. Demand
was good for all kinds of sheep.
There were $50 head of cattle offer
ed the trade this morning. They were
mostly ordinary stuff, although a num-
Der of good killers were included in
the run. There was a considerable
supply of stockers and feeders. Every
thing found good outlet at steady
prices. Packers we're more willing
to buy than at the first of the week.
Trading in the cattle division dur
ing October established several new
records. First All records fer re-
ceipts of cattle and calves were brok-
en-, there being 10,422 head of cattle,
and 972 calves received during the
month. The previous record months
receipts were established in January
1909, when a total of 10,002 were I'M
