New York, Sept. 19. Another heavy

St. Paul and Erie suffered the most.
These stocks, haver been manipulated
outrageously. . Selling was easily traced

raiders purposely placed their orders in
inese nanas 10 give a raise impression
that Harrtman was selling, couM not.
Of icourse, be determined. In view of
what Mr. Harriman said when he re
turned from the west a few davs aao.
it is only reasonable to suppose that
inese oraers retiuv came irom mm ana
his friends. ' Theclose was very weak
arid active with final priws the lowest
of the day. . -The, bank statement was
not quite as bad an had been expected.
Liquidation extended to the curb, the
Cobalt stocks being about the only
strons- features. Neither cotton nor
grain was materially changed. London
was strong In the American depart
ment, but that market closed before the
realising movement began.
Th. nrt.ntn or rallv wa nAA hv

shares. This was later called a ruse
of the bears In order to put prices un
as hiah ar oossible preliminary to a
raid. There was little feature abroad
with Paris weaker, ixmdon and Berlin
cheerful. In this market a sharp de
cline of foreign exchange was a feature.

of the part played by "the Bryan scare"
in the sharp reaction. Wall street was
full of reports of the progress he was
making in the west, and his advent in
the east, a figure of Interest for the
Idle and curious, was sufficient war

There was a great scramble for blue
stem wheat in : the Paclf lo. northwest
during the past week. Sales were made
at primary points aa high aa 96c basis
of track delivery tidewater. Even at
this figure, holders of remaining sup.
plies of bluestem are not wlllllng to let
go and there are many predictions that
the nrice will so to 81 or better before
the end of the present season is reached.
This was forecast in this report at
the very start of the season.
. The demand for our wheat from Eu

the trade here. Exporters have been

Portland union Stockyards, Sept, 19
A new high record was touched in the
market for cows ins. pas.
J. H. Gray of Shanlko shipped in a lot
i.inh innn.il the market at 84. or within
a fraction of the highest price obtained
durlna- the week for the beat class of
steers mat came. . .. ,
There was a lesson In the sale of this
lot of cows that may save miicn money
to Intending shippers to this or any
other mantet. Tne marnei wnmj
stock, and is willing to pay for It
D.ob.r. ara tlrad anit SO Of receiving
off grade stock, and the prices obtained
for this class of stock, while good for
the quality snown is a money iubihr
vAntiir. vn.n Romouren iu viio ioiuiur
from finished stock even at the present
market.
Thft nrttfit 8Rson has been an ex-
SanrlAna I StriA 1T1 Y n SB I I Vf MLIICH HIUUBllli
and it is quite likely that furtarer price
changes will soon be made In favor of
tha hst stock. The spring was ex
tremely cold and the grass on the range
did not get a fair start before the ex
treme warm weather came along and
dried up everything In sight At this
time there are few places where the
ranges are even fair. This is the cause
of such liberal shipments of livestock
early in the season, t The huge price of
grain and mlllfeeds caused many pros
pective readers to may out oi ma uum
ness this season Because they could not
see their way clear to get their-.money
back so dim were tne prospects ior
good livestock prices.
At the present time slaughterers are
filled to overflowing- with poor quality
cattle. Their yards can not get any
more stock into the enclosures, and
even though there were more room the
killers are heartily tired of buying noth
ing but poor class stock. They have
had their fill of off grade stock and
want a change. They want something
select, and the few sales of good cattle
during the week showed by their prices
just how eager the killers were to take
hold of something better than they
have bean receiving. When finished
cows and heifers were selling up to $4
It looks as if some real grand values
would be obtainable for something in
the way of steers. While $4.25' is the
beat reDnrted nrlce fdr steers in the
yards during the week, it is quite likely
that were the oualltv shown 34.35 or
perhaps $4.60 would be Just as easily
obtainable.
As predicted in this department dur
ing tne past rew weens, tne stucoie tea
hogs in about to cause the wreck vt the
hog market During the paat week ar
rivals were of this character, and most
or them are still being neia by receiv
ers, simply because packera want some
thing better. They say: 'Take your
atubble half fed hogs home; feed them
something that will out fat on them.
Then bring them back. We will pay
you for the trouble. We don't want the
half fat stuff at any price." During
the week there vers a few arrivals of
good fat hogs, and these found a sale
week, or an advance of J5e over the pre
vious week. ' i
The heavy run of sheep is over, and
arrivals of but 1,208 head were noted
for the week. This compares with 2,464
a week ago, 1,106 a year ago and 2,873 .
two years ago for this same week.
While the arrivals of the past week were"
a trifle heavier than for this period a
year ago, it must again be remarked
here that the present season is an un
usual ne with Its greatest shortage of
range: The - situation in sheen locally
resembles that In cattle and bogs, only
there Is more nronounced strength for
good sheep than in other lines. There
was no change In sheep values during
the week, , i
Calf Market is Holding- WsO.
The market for calves waa quite good
the past week, holding quite firm and
steady at last week's values. There
waa an especial demand for small, fat
stuff, and stock of- this class readily
moved at top prices upon Arrival.
