The cattle msrket outlook st North
Portland Is far front being a pleasing
one, but in this wise it reflects the con
ditions that are general throughout the
country.
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.

New York, May 17. Although the
market displayed a moderate degree of
strength throughout today's sesalon,
still the bulk of ths activity waa con
fined to selected Isauea such as Best
Bugsr and Weatlnshouae.
The 'news from Washington relative
to the progress of the inquiry into ths
airairs or tne steel corporation did not
receive much attention, but rumors
were Quite Insistent to the effect that
0.21 1 at ths meeting of ths steel interests
6.00 scheduled for Mondsy price changes on
.00 nnisnea aieei products outside oi rails
were likely to be made. The reports
relative to new financing Included
rather definite talk to the effect that
the Michigan Central would shortly la
sue aome first mortgage bonds, that Is
through one of its subsidiary companies,
to the extent of About 115,000,000 and
notice of a special meeting of ths
stockholders of ths United States Motor
company for June 10 for the purpose of
authorising sn lasus of $11,600,000, six
per cent five year convertible bonds,
was circulated.

provement in sentiment which, how
ever, has not yet been reflected by a

terials snd ths opinion Is freely ex
pensed that recent developments In ths
steel trade are likely to exert a re
straining Influence for some time The
bank statement Issued after the close
verified the preliminary eatlmatea of

In view of the known ease of money
ths aame will probably have little Influence.
