Portland Union Stockyards, Stockdale,
Dec. 24. The day before Chriatmas
proved to be a very slow market for
livestock it, the local yards, but this
condition is a usual one at this time of
tha year ana la not confined to the local
market fiione
Again there was a very liberal show
ing of hogs in the Stockdale yards and
bids are generally 10c below those pre
viously offered for the same class of
stuff.
Buyers are inclined to nold aloof, as
they generally do at thia time of the
year. Present weakness and lower price
in hogs is not due to any changj in the
remarkably strong market which has
heretofore Held at recorJ Driers, but to
the approach of holidays and the
consequent stilling of big operations.
Will Zo Better After the Holiday.
There will be no business at all tran
sacted In the Portland stockyards to
morrow, and therefore arrivala will be
carried over until Monday morning. It
is not liueiy tnat there will be much of
demand until after New Year s.
Only a nominal, run . of cattle an J
sheep waa shown durinsr the ,'past 24
hours, but this was sufficient for the
scant trade offering. Unless there is a
press of supplies, the market "will likely
nolo wnere it is for a while.
Today a run of livestock compares

Those Who Supply the Market

drive in nine head of cattle. C. Craven
of Weiser, had two loads of cattle of-

in two loaas or swine today, ueorge
Chandler had one load o'f hogs Offering

but in some quarters the opinion waa
that the report waa ralsa. However, aa
It came from a good aource, a majority
of the trade believed it. .
