For awhile acarcely any fish were be

coming from Coos 'but the. appearance
of the flHh In the Columbia again re

Portland Union Stockyards, Stockdale,
Fob. 2. A better feeling Is noted In the
local cattle situation and with the ar
rival of a better cHiss vf stuff, higher
prices are obtainable-.
During the past ?t hours a sale of
steeern was made at $6.50 a new high
record ior trio preaont movement. There
la quite n lot of en hi stuff offering
In the yards today and .with most of
the poor truck out of t'ie wav the mar
ket Is in a position 10 do better.
Very heavy supplies have been pur
chased In the, yards during the past
rw aaya by w. a a. and thia helped to
relieve the situation to a considerable
degree. B. & 8. company's operstlons
in tne yards are now among the great
est and it ia stated that the company's
sales of freah meats have Increased ma
terially recently.
Zndspendent People Staking Gains.
Independent meat dealers are making
a greater hit with the trade than ever.
The operations of the M. J. Gill com-
any are showing a heavy Increase and
is stated to be the intention ot the
company to engage in the general pack
ing trade after awhile. This will neces
sitate the construction of a packing
plant, but the company already has con
siderable land in the vicinity of the
stockyards and therefore is in a posi
tion to build. Then too the company
was the first to select the peninsula
as the proper nlace for Portland's pack
lag hous s.
Frank L. Smith is another Independ
ent who Is making Mr strides in the
local Dutcnering business. There was
talk some time ago of the Smith com
pany constructing a new pacKing plant.
HOgs Top at 58.90.
Extreme ton of the hog market at
this time Is $8.90 or lOo under former
rigures. That Portland prices on hogs
should begin to fall Just as the east
is steadying itaeir is one or tne mys
teries of tne trade that none but the
big packers can fully explain. Receipts

hours were light
