- A has been told by The Journal re

for woola in the interior and contract
ing on a small scale continues at 15c
to 18c a pound, The. latter is an ex
ceptional bid.
CELERY, MARKET HIGHER

TOMATO SVTPLIES SHORT

While there has been an Increase in
the make of Creamery butter throughout!
this section recently, supplies are not
adequate to fill the wants of the trade. a
This condition Is due to the heavilv in- T
creased business for fresh stock. Com- T
paratively speaking, there Is "no Stor- '
ago butter available at Mils time andj
practically no second grade of fresh
iiinnc imp, mererore, inrows cractic-i
ally the entire demand into the freth 1
maKe ana creamery Interests say that
the incroase in offerings of cream is not
sufficient to take care of It. Almost
every local creamery reported a short
age In the make as compared with the
demand during the past 24 hours.
All of the weakness has disappeared
from the northern markets. While Se
attle and Tacoma butter markets wero
congested and extremely low values
w-put Into effeit a few wefrtts ago,"
the demand is very much like that
shown locally and present prices there
are exactly the "same as are ruliitg in

. Owing to the appearance ffom Alaska
of a demand for heavy beef, there; Is a
sotrlted call for , -weighty cattle lh the
Portland stockyards at this time. - . ;
While as a rule there is little. differ
ence in the price between this grade and
something not quite so heavy, -the call
from the north Is an Insistent one and
price cuts absolutely no consideration.
Six steers that a:na from Ridgefield.
Wash.. were sold at $6.60 in the North
Portland yards, today. The Btock was
rather heavy and of 'inusual good fin
ish. .It was brought forwartV by M. C
Hall and was quickly picked up Jty
buvers." " " v
The cattle market generally Is In rood
condition. Only a handful of supplies
came forwitrd to North Portland pens
this morning owing to the delayed cat
tie trains. Th regular North Bank
train has been held up on account of a
slide while the O.-w. R. A- N. stock
train did not come forward on time.
The latter is due to arrive this after
noon but the stock will probably be too
late for this afternoon's trading.
- G-ood Shipments Ara Due.
Very liberal shipments are expected
from eastern Oregon and Idaho polnta
on the afternoon train, but the trade .to
in an excellent condition to take care
of it.
At Chicago the cattle market was
strong with an advance of 10c being
generally quoted by the trade. Run, for
the day was 15,000 head.
- Kansas -City cattle market was show
ing a run of 4000 head tor the day, with
the. .maxkt-a-dlro--hiKher-41-wound-.-
