Four loads of Montana cattle arrived In tbe
North Portland yards over night, being tbe
first shipments from taere for the local trade
this season.
Condition of the cattle market in general is
steady to firm. Stock Is now getting no high
priced thst killers are no longer exceedingly
aoxioua to take rare of the extreme quality
staff, although there is by no meane any weak
ness noted. The trade In that class of stuff Is
not quite so active.
It is the lower prices and poorer quality stun
that Is selling best In tbe csttle dlvlnlon of
tbe local trade.

Wheat showed s firm tone at Chicago dnr
lag the morning with liberal price advascea,
bnt the trade was rathe? erratic at times.
Cash demand Is so strong all ore- the world
that leaden of the trade have came to tbr
conclusion that even If the market should
show temporary reactions, as is generally
tbe case, the ultimate rsge ot prices will
be higher.
All through the central west they sre In
creasing their premiums for cash wheat. This
is especially noted In the Kaneaa City and
Minneapolis sections.
Foreign demand for wheat remain, fully h
keen aa ever; In fact, tbe demand la even
more pronounced than It has been to date thla
seaaon. The call Is principally for immediate
delivery, indicating that stocks of wheat
abroad sre at the danger mark.
Locally tbe trend of the trade Is firm,
with country bida allgbtiy elevated again.

MiUatuff market ia very firm, with millers
quoting bran at $27 and shorts st $30t281 per

Broomhsll cabled from Liverpool:
"Wheat strong with scarcity of import of.
