PORTLAND MARKETS
Cattle The cattle yards have been
well filled during the week and
though the markot was rather dull
ut tho close of last woek, Monday's
movement was brisk and a large vol
ume was transacted, which totaled
around 1200 head. Some choice
prime steers brought $10.60, but the
general market conditions Indicated
a decline over tho provlous week of
60 to 75 cents. Yesterday's market
conditions would warront a quotation
of $9 to $9.76 for best beef Btoors
nd 18.60 to $9 for good steers.
Butcher stuff and cows, however, de
clined nearly $1 from last week's
market. The best cows are selling as
high as $7. SO but the bulk are go
ing at 17 and lower. The bull mar
ket is steady with last week's close.
and 60c lower than last week's open
ing. Veal calves are quoted at $9
to $9.60, and somo splendid offerings
went through tho yards. Stockers
and feeders were steady with last
week's prices and some very excellent
feeders were handled at the yards
from $5 to $7.60.
Hogs The hog alleys wero rather
heavier Monday than a week ago,
about 1200 head being received. The
rise in price was continued at the
opening, and many loads went for
$16. A fair quotation for the bulk
would be $15.86 to $16.05, and the
demand good.
Sheep The sheep market remains
steady with only 600 hood on the
market. Spring lambs are getting
from $12.25 to $12.75. Mt. Adams
yearlings $10.25, and owes from $4
to $8.
Some neighbor surely can eat or
put up surplus products from your
place.
See that the shelves In your pre
serving closet sag Just a little this
year.
