The pricefis based on $3.25 per hundred delivered at Elgin, which is from $5 to $7 per head for three year old steers less than was received last year. The buyers are very choicy in their selections and are making heavy cuts. Wallowa Chieftain. Kiddle brothers of Island City are re ceiving 2000 head of hogs at different points in Wallowa county.

The price paid was four cents for feeders and four and one half cents for fat hogs. The price of wheat and all other grains is so high in this county this fall that the farmers are selling off their stock hogs rather than feed them and take chances on the future market. Wheat is now selling at the mills for 75 cents per bushel. STOCK NOTES. Sheep Ilejflnnliiff to MoveCattle Ilelng Fed. So far this fall the sheep market has been very quiet.
