CAM MARKET HAS STRONG CLOSE UNION STOCK YAHD8. Portland. June 8, (Special.) The week In the llvestocg market closes wllb. cattle steady lo strong, hogs holding in a steady wsy at the quotations of tho past few days, and mutton generally easy at prices fully a quarter under those prevailing at the opening. The easing ot the mutton market was brought shout mainly by the unduly heavy offerings during the week of poor to medium grade stock. There was nothing surprising, however, In the latest developments In the sheep market, for tho trudo always looks for a heavy movement of off grade mutton stuff at this time of the year. Cattle values at the finish were about a tiuarter above those ruling the first of tho week. Heat grade steers bave within the past few days sold at $7!0 and prime cows at $tU0 and for the best In the two lines these figures were believed to be ohtalnahlo today. There was no trade today, however. In beef or In any other line, practlc ally all the stock unloaded at the yards being contract deliveries. CATTLE MARKET HAS BETTER TONE The Portland Union Stock Yards Company reports ss follows: Receipts for the week have been as follows: Cattle 1236; calves 38, hogs 1973, sheep 4128; horses 44. Although there were a few more cat tle on the market this week than last the price stiffened up 15c on steers, tbe record tales of the week being three loads of light grass finished stuff, extra good which brought 17.60 Most of the offerings were off grado and sold around 7c. Very light re ceipts in the cow division, best sales at $6.40. Bulls, stags and veals calves held their own. The swine division remained about the same as heretofore, $7.76, being tbe top for the best Market consid ered slightly weaker, however, and more discrimination was shown by buyers In sorting up the grades. Lambs came to the front In the mut ton market, opening Monday at $6.75 they gradually declined until tbey reached (c at the close of the week. Iluyers report they are liberally sup piled snd no advance Is looked for ov er the latter quotation. Ewes, year lings, wethers end mixed lots took a correspondingly downward slant, prices being about a quarter of cent off on these classes. INCREASING STRENGTH The strong position of the wool trade In the Interior fully confirms the forecasts that better prices were available at tbe regular sales than by contracting prior to shearing or by reg-ular private sales. Tbe suction at Ontario showed sales as high as 20c a pound, which Is from a o 4 a pound better than bliysvt would have paid had nut lha sales bcnti competitive.
