While there was little general
change in swine quotations as given
out by the Portland Union Stockyards
during the week, nevertheless the
market was scarcely steady at any
time. Heccipts for the six days were
fractionaliy smaller than during the
preceding period but the lack Of de-
mand from outside killers hurt gem

utmost to hold prices aloft and did
not care to take advantage Of the sit

Toward the closing Of the week It
was apparent that practically all the

price quoted for that quality.
