A amall portion of the decline was recovered late in the day and the closing was 6 points un der the previous , session.- Recent report that the Southern Pa cific waa to be taken over by a syndi cate; thus severing connections with the Union Pacific; brought out a round of Uauldation. that coat that . security 8 points during the day but affected Union Pacific to the extent Of 2 polnta.

Fact that one lot of cows brought $4.76i94.86 in the yards during the past 24 hours, is not the slight".-! indication that the matket has really 1 rntuvu mm xigurc. The sale was simply excessive qual ity; the best cows in fact that have en tered the Portland market durmjr the vast pear. The same shippers, the Prlneville Land A Livestock company, annually secure from H to lc a pound more for their. cows and steers than uo other shippers. Stock sent In by the Prlnevllle con cern this year was unusually good evi-n for the Land company and the tact that as high a price was obtilnd for sows as is generally offering for steers in the local market shows In itself th.-t the stuff must hava bean far above others in quality. The sale was made by tho Bnson Commission company and occasioned not tne silgntest surprise even. innui;n tuc rrice received was out of reason with he rest of the market. "I an perfectly satisfied with the sale.'' says Henry Halm, president of Wadhams A Co. and a partner In the Prlnevllle Land A Livestock.. "I believe, however, that we would have obtained fully a quarter more for the stock if the big loads of stock had not glutted the market during the paat few days." Independent People Take the Stuff. -The hia-h priced stuff waa purchased by independent packers and naturally this gives them considerable favor with the trade. One lot of 27 cjws waa taken at 84.76 by Blrkenfleld & Lewla of Clatakanle, another, the hlrhevr priced lot of 27 head at $4.86 by M. J. Gill, a prominent local butcher.- An other lot of 27 head was taken by nn Aberdeen Packing company, at $4.75 and: an equal numoer by swartzcmid & suia berger of this city at $4.50. General market for cattle was not good during the past 24 hours ai.d the Dig buyers were thererore able to cean ud at their own flarures. That this is exactly why they were holding off rheir purcnaaea is tne oeiier.or the commis sion handlers as well ia shippers la general who say that :hcy should have been given Detter treatment. ,ven witu all the talk of big prices., the -eheral market for steers does iot rvig above $6, and some exceptionally good cattle, although light sold 160 under that Iig ure yeeterday. pair One Car la Today. Only One car of cattle came into the yards today and if shippers will keep their stuff back for awhile it will al low these who cleaned up the yards at low prices to sell their low priced cat tle at high values, and after that help the general situation.
