With such severe declines as have been shown in eaatern and middle waat prices during recent montha. It has been only natural that Portland and the rest of the Pacific, coaat should follow. Extreme top for cattle at North Portland todav la not abov II 60 and the general opinion of the trade is that not above .2I or poeaibly $0.40 at ths outside could be obtained. The cattle that earns forward todav to tho local' yards were of good quality but were not toppera, being rather light. There were threei loala In tha enure flays srrlvals snd these consist ed of ateers from Anaconda, Montana The aale waa made previous to arrival at $6.11 but thla Is just about what ths market Is today. Outside ahlpmenta Axe Bearish. Shipments of cattle from Nebraska, Colorado and Montana have had a bear ish effect upon the trade Notwithstand ing thla ths price of grass cattle today la ths beat ever known, fully indicat ing the great shortage that has exist ed on the ranges of the Pacific coaat. The merging of the grass cattle and the feed cattle season Is caualng some Inconvenience to feeders because they cannot secure as good a price as were the grass stuff kept away but ths mar ket for ths Utter Is helped thereby. One therefore gains strength while ths oth er loses. General range of cattle: Beat steers $1,250 8.10 rancy grain aieera .
