LAI MARKET HAS !A SilGHI DECLINE LIBERAL OFFERING OF I SHEEP AT PORTLAND TtikIo Shows AVeaknosH at Other Markets Demand for Feed C'uUlo I Liiiriuvl No Hoifs Arrive Wheat Slightly Advanced. (From Tuesday's Journal.) A fractional decline of 10c was shown In the market for lambs today when a select lot of Mount Adams stock sold at 4.65 compared with re cent sales of similar quality at J4.75. At the same time several lots of se lected yearling wethers sold at $4 weighed off cars. This really means $3.75 on the full, therefore the mar ket for sheep ;s unchanged. There was a very liberal offering of sheep In the mutton division of the North Portland yards today. Total offerings were 6386 head with a large per cent of the shipment from, the Mount Adams country. Portland was not alone with a big spurt In sheep offerings today for all markets seem to have been s.ngUd t I 1 iA Cass Matlock, Prop.

At South Omaha there were 53,000 head reported In during the past 24 hours while at Chicago the run of muttons reached a total of 40, 000 head. The market for sheep and lambs here Is just about holding its own be cause of the greater amount of poor quality than the trade can take care of. While there remains quite a fair fall for f'rst class mutton and lambs, the overabundance of poof stuff is having Its effect and a promising ad vance has been nipped In the bud. At Chicago today the sheep trade was weak with prices unchanged from yesterday, while at South Oma ha owing to the heavy run the. mar ket was weaker and lower. Top lambs sold there today at J5.76. year lings $4 35 4.65. wethers $3. 65. 90 and ewes $3.40 3.75.

The feed cattle that came forward from Montana yesterday was held over until today owing to the absence of suitable demand and price offer ing. The shipment was sold early In the day at various figures all in line with previous quotations. There was only a fair run of cattle in the yards this morning with most of the stuff going through. Therefore outside of the sale of the Montana feeders the cattle division of the mar ket was rather quiet today. At Chicago today there was a run of 7500 head of cattle with the mar ket weak at unchanged figures. South Omaha cattle run for the day was 9500 head with the market slow. Top steers sold there this morning at J7.257.S0 and best cows and heifers at $4.50 5.76. North Portland range: ."elect steers 5.50 Fancy steers 6.40 Choice steers 5.40 Feeders 4.65 Common steers 4 00 4.25 Fancy heifers 4.75 Fancy cows 4.50 Feeder cows 3.25 Fancy bulls 3.00 4.00 Good ordinary, bulls 2.002.50 Common bulls 2.00 2.25 Fancy light calves 7.50 Medium calves 5 06.50 Ordinary calves 4.00 5.00 No Hogs Arrive Today. There were no hogs offering In the North Portland market' today and therefore quotations, as printed, may be considered nominal. A further softening of the swine trade is shown elsewhere, therefore it is to be pre sumed that the local trade will fol low.

SHsht Advance In Wheat. Chicago, Sept. 27. At the closing there was a slight advance in the wheat market compared with the end of Tuesday's trading. Closing figures were 1-8 to 1-2 higher with the open ing showing a loss of 1-4 to 3-8c. There was a weaker tone abroad and this influenced some celling pres sure at the opening.

The hearing which is one of a num ber that Examiner Prouty is conduct ing throughout the west, began at 10 o'clock. It will continue over today and probably a portion of tomorrow. A large number of prominent Ore gon wool growers in attendance at the hearings, including George H. Mc Knight of Vale, president of the Ore gon Wool Growers' association; Vice President J. H. Dobbin of Joseph, E. P. Cranston of Baker, a member of the executive board, J. E. Smith of Pendleton and Frank Clark of Enter prise. Many Attorneys Presfc-nt. J. T. Marchand, attorney for the in terstate commerce commission, is rep resenting the commission, Commis sioner Clyde B. Athclson, the state railway commission, V. O. Johnson, of Shoshone, Idaho, the National Wool Growers' association, and S. O. Bak er of Silver City, N. M., the Xational Mohair Growers' association. A num ber of attorneys representing the rail roads and other interests concerned in the rates were in attendance at the session this morning. Rates on wool and mohair from the west to Missouri river and eastern points have been unsatisfactory to wool growers for some years. Ore gon growers appealed to the state rail road commission for relief in Octo ber, 1909, and the commission be gan an investigation which was fin ally taken up by the interstate com merce commission and consolidated with a great number of complaints from wool growers throughout the nOIYf?

The commission then began the present Inquiry on Us own initiative, taking in the reasonableness of all rates on wool from the western states to points cast. Three WltiieswH Heard. Hearings have already been held in Chicago, Albuquerque, Denver and Salt Lake. The next hearing will be In Phoenix, Ariz., and the final one in Chicago, October 24. There were three witnesses exam ined this morning General Freight and Passenger Agent W. E. Coman of the S. P. & S.; General Freight Agent Frank Robinson and Traffic Man ager It. B. Miller, both of the O.-W. R. & N. company. Soon after the Oregon commission began its Inves tigation one of the concessions asked of the railroads was granted a rate was put in on sacked wool as well as baled wool. There still remains, how ever, a differential of 25 cents on the sacked wool. According to the testi mony of the witnesses this morning this differential Is absorbed by the road on which the traffic originates for Instance on a shipment from Vale to Boston the O.-W. R. & N. company would absorb the 25 cents If the wool were shipped in sacks, the local rate and Its percentage, what ever it may be, of the through rate. Tells of Competition. Mr. Robinson testified that here was some competition between the O.-W. R. & X. company and the Short Line for the wool business of Malheur and Harney counties, though he admitted no effort was made to have wool ship ped from points west of Huntington to Portland so that shippers might secure the benefit of the ocean rates. He admitted, in reply to questions of Mr. Atchison and Mr. Marchand that he had hear growers in southwestern Oregon carried their wool to Winne- mucca, Xev., on the line of the South ern Pacific, to take advantage of the much lower rate to eastern points that prevailed from Winnemucea than from points on the O.-W. R. & X. in Oregon. Mr. Coman, when asked concerning the effect of river traffic in forcing competition with the railroads in hauling wool from eastern Oregon and Washington to Portland, said that the combination of river and ocean rates thus affected was lower than the all rail rate to the Atlantic seaboard. He thought very little wool originated from points on the river west of The Dalles and said he did not know of any wool shipments made by water on the boats operated by his company. More Testimony Coming. There is considerable testimony to be taken concerning the reasonable ness of mohair rates as compared with wool rates. Mr. Coman testified that less mohair than wool is ship ped, that it Is a more expensive ar tice and that he considered it could carry a higher rate than wool. Asked concerning the reasonable ness of the $1 carload rate on wool from Portland to Boston, Mr. Coman testified that, in the opinion of the railroads, It was entirely too low, but was forced by ocean competition. Out of the SI rate to Boston, he said, the S P. & S. secures, as its share. 18.6 cents. It secures 24 cents on the Chi cago rate and 27 cents on the St. Paul rate. Mr. Robinson testified the wool shipped last year over his line ap proximated 2,000,000 pounds, of which perhaps 90 per cent was shipped di rectly east. Portland Journal. SHEEP MUST LEAVE RANGE IN FOREST One of the most successful years of grazing since the establishment of the Wenaha forest reserve ends Sunday for sheep, says the Walla Walla Un ion. AH the sheep in the reserve during the summer will come out this fall rolling in fat and wool and In prime shape for the winter. Stock men are already working their bands towards home, and before the 10 days of grace allowed by the government are up, the wooly clouds will have floated down to the valley and been placed in winter quarters. In all, 102,000 sheep, not including partly grown lambs, have been graz ing over the reserve since last May, owned by 54 stockmen, who have from 500 to 1,000 sheep in a band, and In the neighborhood of 1000 sheepherd ers have been employed in the moun tains all summer. The local forestry office has a force of 16 men in the field at present, whose duty It is to see that the sheep are all out of the national forest be fore the 10th of October. Two men wore sent to the hills this week to hunt coyotes and cougars. They will be In the hills for about three months. According to sheepmen, but little trou ble has been experienced from coy otes nnd cougars this year, and both species of marauders are becoming scarce In the sheep district. Only four cougars were killed this summer, two of which were shot by rangers, while dozens of coyotes have fallen be neath the rifles of sheepherders, In tho act of stealing lambs. RXPriiT STUDIF-S WIRE WORM. Government Entomologist at O. A. C. tJoltlns Material for New Publication. Oregon Agricultural Colleco, Cor vallis, Ore. The wire worm, com monly known as the click or snap ping beetle, Is being made a special study by J. A. Hyslop, government entomologist. He is securing material for a bulletin on the subject to be published at Washington shortly. For that purpose he Is spending several days at the Oregon agricultural col lego, where there Is the best collec tion of the wire worms, showing their life history, in the state, and second best in the northwest. As this pest is widely distributed through this part of the country and annually damages thousands of dollars worth of crops, the bulletin will be of pe culiar interest and value to the farmers of Oregon.
