There waa a heavy movement of cat tle at North Portland this morning, a total of 403 head being received com pared with 86 head a week ago. Ship' menta were principally from California, 11 loads arriving from Merced this morning. Condon waa the only local shipper of nota. J He cat lie marnet at in local yams remains in much tiie same position as during recent days, but fancy Califor nia stuff brought $6.16. elteadlness Is shown for rest good quality but poor aturf la sold below Its actual worm. Killers are showing no disposition to favor shipments of off-quality cattle and for that reason are not offering the prices they formerly flld ror mi clsss of stock. The Portland market haa be com. known throughout th country aa pay Ins extreme values for. poor quality and aa long as this condition lasted. It waa no incentive ror reaoers to put out a better class of stuff. Poor stuff brought more In proportion to Its worth than real top quality, this condition nas come to an end. because packar hav seen the folly of It.

Quality la generally missing among the arrivals In the lo cal yards. This would account for the sale late yesterday arternooa or liaz wethers at $3. While the stock aver aged 92 pounds and came from east of the mountains, it was of very poor quality. Price on lambs dropped to lb.2bttb.io. This is a loss or duo. Today's showing ef sheep and lambs was rather light, totals being 323 head compared with 863 head a week ago.
