Humors that a great flood of
European Unmigmnta was to
pour upon the Pacific Coast as
soon as tne Panama Canul was
open, bus cieated great anxiety
amongst civic organizations. The
Oregon State Immigration Com
mission felt that if such a throng
was actually in prospect, it was
incumbent upon the Commission
to ascertain what nroviaiona
could be made for distribution of
arriving aliens away from the
congested centers.
So far as a thorough investi
gation could disclose, no steam
ship company has yet quoted
passenger rates for immigrants
via the canal, and no such tickets
are oeing boio eitner lor cash or

sistence of the old rumors caused
this office to make such investiga

hand from the American Con

ports of Europe, utterly dis
credit the rumors of a direct
Pacific Coast immigration.

Market Report.
Receipts for the week have
been Cattle-685; Calves-15; Hogs-
3765; Sheep-5138.
A natural apathy was apparent
in the cattle market this week,
follow the big Stock Show, when
exceptionally heavy shipments
were made. Cattle pnets suf
fered a severe slump, top quality
going at 25 cents lower und
other grades at even more of a
decline. Killers had suonlied
their needs temporarily und will
have to work off the surplus, but
as liquidation will be light for
jthe next few months the situa
tion is expected to impiove this
next week.
The hog market d topped off
1 10 cents during the week, with
j extreme top at $7.5 for
i the week'B dose for choice
j stuff, with heavy stock 10 to 16
I cents down. Liberal liquidation
increases the seasonable weak
ness.
The sheep house business held
up well for the week. Some
choice mutton and lambs were
marketed. Lambs moved easily
at $6.26 and prime wethers held
their own at $6.00, while ewes
closed around $4.00, when choice
stuff was offered.
