gave them two more scores and
this lead could not be overcome
by the Fossil team in their turn
at bat The local team was
treated most royally, a fine

Portland Market Report
Receipts on the market for
the week ending today have been;
cattle 1484, calves 92, hogs 1071,
sheep 4096, horses and mules 52
Most of the cattle have been
from California and were of
good quality and the prices at
which they were sold indicate
that the lower prices looked for
atthistime did not apply. The
run of grass cattle has not start
ed and while the packers un
doubtedly expect to get lower
priced cattle the supply, both in
quauity and quality has not war
ranted a reduction.
The sheep market has been
well supplied throughout the
week. Prices indicate a steady
market There were all sorts of
sheep offered and the best prices
quoted in the sales which follow
brought all they were worth.
The hog market is slowly
following the lead of the River
markets and while prices at Port
land are $1.50 per hundred higher
than at other points the market
is 10 cents lower than last week.
Benjamin Hunt came up from
Rock Creek Wednesday.
