Weekly Report Of
Union Stock Yards

North Portland, Mar. 21.-Yester-
days supply of cattle was about 600
head. Only few loads of real fat cat
tie were included. The winter supply
of prime light cattle seems to have
been marketed and buyers had to go
after the medium light stuff which
consequently forced slightly higher
prices for these grades. There is a very
slow call for heavy cattle at the pres
mt time although there are very few
coming to market. One load of prime
heavy steers brought $965 yesterday.
Several other loads Of good light steers
brought $3.50 and 1855. The balance
of the beef steers sold mostly from
SO to 1925 Feeding steers sold well,
demand being good. Prices ranging
from 1925 to $9 Best cows offered
brought So with top of $3.50. Very
few good cows are coming and the COW
market is Strengthening gradually. Me-
dunn and ordinary light cows sold
from 81 to $7.35; common dairy breed
stuff ranged from S. to $3.50. No real
fat bulls were on the market the best
not getting better than $6.75, thin
dairy breed bulls sold from $4.75 to So
Hogs
Hog market was rather slow affair
buyers and sellers having wide diver
gent views. After trading got under
way prices ruled about steady with
last weeks close. One load Of prime
light hogs brought $l450 with the
bulk of good hogs bringing $l4.35. Pigs
sold from $12.75 to 1925, demand was
good.
Sheep
All sheep prices were advanced again
yesterday There was fair supply and

wool lambs brought $3.50 with cou.

He could have added that the differ
ence in interest saved the empire more
than $5O,O00,000 a year.
"There were good reasons for not al
lowing the interest rate to exceed five
per cent, ;" he continued. "Through the
necessity of keeping up our exchanges,
the value of all money on the London
market has long been higher than ii
otherwise would have been. Exchequer
bonds bearing six per cent and treasury
bills at five and half were issued up
to the very day before the issue of the
loan. 1t was because of this high level
of money that many financial men most
competent to judge warned me that the
loan could not succeed at less than six
per cent.
Banked on People.
s'It seemed to me as chancellor Of
exchequer that to stereotype British
credit at high figure like six per cent
would be a serious misfortune 1t would
be better even to risk comparative
failure of the loan. AS a matter of fact,
however, / really did not anticipate a
failure in any degree. I was banking
on the people of the country. And in
nv belief the success of the loan should
not be measured in the amount raised,
but in the number Of persons who par.
ticipated. Eight million people have q

Markets by Artificial Rise, which
Passed There Thursday.

An artificial rise In the Ohio river
passed here Thursday bringing down
large shipment OF coal for the
Southern markets. This was said TO
be the most successful movement OF
coal that has even taken place on the
Ohio river by this process.
The present wave was created by
opening the dams from Just above
Wheeling to Ashland and also by US
ing the dams In the Kanawha river.
The wave created was seventy miles
long and lasted twenty-four hours
There were ten towboats carrying 14O
barges and each barge carried 400
tons Of coal. This will amount to 56,-
900 tons Of coal on this shipment.
Figured at the rate OF fifty-six tons
to each car, II would be equivalent to
1000 cars OF coal, or about fifteen
train loads his process of shipping
coal will relieve the shortage OF coal
in Cincinnati, Louisville and other
places, including Maysville, one barge
being received here.
