Weekly Report Of
Union Stock Yards

North Portland, Dee 5.The week =
opening market in the Portland Union
Stock Yards showed firm condition,
with advanced prices in the cattle de-
partment, a sluggish hog market fac
ing q severe decline, and weak sheep
market with light supply and no de-
mand. 1t is possible that threatening
labor troubles in the business activi-
ties connected with live stock in some
of the northwestern cities has affect
cd market conditions indirectly by
forcing out of the market q number of
the larger outside buyers There is no
evident desire on the part of packers
to cut the hog price down to such a
point that production may be diseaaF-
aged. Neither is there any market
break apparent in the hog department,
other than that which is forced by con-
ditions mentioned above. The cattle
market is not particularly affected by
this condition because all cattle coming
10 these yards can be handled and put
into the feed lots without loss.
The string Of almost thousand cat
tie found fairly good market with
medium quality prevailing and prices
going strong Is and 25c higher in the
COWS class and holding steady in all
other classes. We quote the following:
Medium to choice steers $9.50@l0;
good to medium steers $S,75@9.50; com
mon to good steers $7.25NDS25; choice
cows and heifers $7dl7.75; common to
good cows and heifers $5.50m725; can
ners $3@525; bulls $4.50@6.75; calves
$7M9.50; stockers and feeders $4(07 so
A string of about S5 loads Of hogs
came into the market to confront a
critical condition. The buyers were few
in the yards, and those present were
practically over flooded with supply
at the opening of the market. The con
tract stuff was taken care of at fair
ly steady prices, but tho open market
went off to badly crippled tune. The
final outcome was the withdrawal of
bids and the following quotations:
Prime light, $l5.S5@l6; prime heavy
$l6@l610; pigs $l3,75@l5. The bulk
