This time la now approaching, and when
the annual decline Is made during the
latter part' of 'January, the price drops
faster than the declines can be noted,
'therefore the Front street trade wants
to clean up Its arrivals as soon as they
Rre received. If the eggs cannot be un
loaded quickly at one price, the value is
lowered until the movement starts, Jn
earnest. Prices drop so fast on those
occasions that a person buying eggs in
Ihe morning could purchase the same
quality later In the day from I to 8c a,
doen less. That is exactly the reason
why those who really sell Oregon eggs
are not holding out for 42 o now. They
are afraid of the market, andwant to
. protect themselves as well as their ship
j.era from securing Btill lower Talues
than now in effect. . , ( ...

Portland Vnlon Stockyards. Jan. I.
Breaking price records In the livestock
market are getting to be almost of dally
occurrence at Stockdale, and therefore
occasion very little surprise among the
sellers.
One lot of hogs, numbering 19S head
and averaging 202 pounds, sold during
the day at $8.90. or 6c above the ex
treme high limit heretofore reached dur
ing the present season.
Market for swine continues in excel
lent shape, and receipts are still small.
Only 149 head appeared at Stockdale
during the past 24 hours In "eo.ro par ison
with 846 yesterday, and none a week
ago today.
. Wsnderful vitality Is shown In the
price of hogs at eastern and middle west
centers. Decline of 8c one day is re
gained the very next day, and In .some
instances a new record Is made. There
Is a shortage of hogs in all sections of
the country, but despite the high prlcea
In effect elsewhere this market con
tinues to hold the record for the United
States, so far as any Union Stockyard la
concerned.
Big Bon of Bbeep Appears.
It looked like old times in the sheep
mark-et for today's run consisted of 2401,
the greatest number for many a day.
Demand for sheep Is very liberal, and1
therefore because of the local scarcity
buyers have been forced to again In
vade Montana to secure their wants
Ten carloads from there were In the
Yards on this morning's market sfter
being in the tralnwreck at Cascade
jocks.
So far as noted there was no chang
in shet-r - lamb-wlces 4nar tha
morning trading, hut old values were
neicr very nrm and anowed a tendency
iu rise.
B tears and Cows at Big Hark.
Market for cattle remains unusually
firm in the stockyards, but still higher
prices are anticipated by sellers as well
as buyers within the near future. Dur
ing the past 24 hours steers sold up to
a, wruie transactions in cows went as
hicrh as 34. At these values the demand
was far ahead of supplies. Only a nom
inal run of cattle was shown in the
yards during the day.
73ms who Supply tha Uarket.
William Matlock waa an arrival with
10 cars of sheep from Dell, Mont Mr.
Matlock was caught in the wreck on the

mand for loans during the day. indi
cated that the trade believed funds
could be secured for leaa.
In all events the reduction In the
Bank of Englund rate had a bullish
effect upon securities in general; ex
ceptions being few and far between.
Rock Island continues to show feel
ing foreign to the stock market In gen
eral and its common stock was among
the few to show an actual loss for
tne day, Rock island common closed
1 4 points below yesterday. Rock
