Weekly Market Trends
(Editor' Note: Tho following
market Information I supplied
from mnlerlal obtained over the
government leased wire In the
offlco of the extension econo
mist at Oregon State college.
The material, In the form of a
Weekly summary of trends In the
livestock market, is not Intcndod
to replace spot day by day mar
ket reports.) ' '
CATTLE MARKETS
For the fourth consecutive
week Portland reported an un
usually heavy run of cattle, witli
21100 nvolluble for , local sale.
DcVpltn this, trading wos active
and prices steady to strong,, with
lightly sorted good fed steers
selling at $14.38 and grass fat
Steers at $12 to $13:50. Grass
fst beef heifer brought $10 to

n shortage of good fed stuff but
quotations were up to $13. SO, the
price a week ago. The Chicago
market -.was weaker with most
fed steer sold at $13.75 to
$13.78. . .
' Normally cattle price in the
west follow a steadily downward
course from May through Octo
ber as supplies of grass fat cat
tle Increase.' 'Present prices,
however, In spite of heavier re
ceipt than former years, are
equal to those of a month ago,
owing 'largely to shortage of
dressed beef In many large east
ern markets; .
SHEEP AND LAMB MARKETS
Prices on sheep and lambs at
North " Portland Monday were
steady with a week previous,
good to' choice spring lambs sell
ing mostly at $12, and medium
to good at $10.50 to $11.50.
Trading was active on the 17S0
liead available for local sale. At
Chicago the market was slightly
higher, on spring lambs, most of
the good and choice native stuff
brlnging'$15.38 to $18.50, which
was 50 to 73 cents higher than
the Sveek before,- but at Omaha
trading ' was ' slow and bids
around 23 to 40 cents below last
week.
Contracting of western lambs
for late summer and fall deliv
ery hai become rrtore active with
many sales reported in the Intcr
rnountain states last week. Con
tract prices ' Indicate consider
ablo' confidence in the market
situation; especially ori feeder
typo lambs, being now about $1
higher than a year ago.- (Market
prices for slaughter lambs are
now about $3 higher than a year
ago.) With the ratio more fav
orable! to feed lot operators than
a year ago, competition is active
between 'operators ' In various
areas and 'buyers for wheat field
grazing. ' '
' Trade interest in Colorado es
timate that about 75 per cent or
more of ' the lambs-in that state
are now under contract. In the
Sun Luis valley district mixed
ewe and wether lambs sold at
511.50.to-mostly $12, f.o.b. load
ing point; In southwestern Colo
rado at $12 to $12.23, and in the
northwestern part of the state
sizable - bands of blackfaces
brought ' $12.50." Most feeder
lambs In Wyoming were con
tracted at $12, with mixed bands
at $12.25 or better, and in Ne
vada aovoral large, bands brought
$12.50. " :
HOG MARKETS
Hog price at North Portland
dropped somewhat Monday from
their ' record high maintained
;the past few weeks. Arrivals to
taled 2100 head, of which 1900
were' Offered locally. Good to
choice' drive-ins brought mostly
$15.38 to $18.40 and butchers to
270 pounds told at $14.78 to $13.
Good sows were steady at $14
to $18. San ' Francisco prices
were reported too late to be In
cluded but trading at Chicago
was active on all weights, top
butchers selling at $14.83 to
$15.05 and heavier weights at
$14.40 to $14.80.
Marketings last week at North
Portland were heavy but there
was a continued good demand
from both slaughter and feeding
channels. A new high since
1020 was reached in Thursday
of that week when some top
hogs brought $15.85.
WOOL MARKETS
Large sales of fine and half
blood territory wools wore
made at ceiling prices on an ac
tive Boston wool market last
week. Half-blood territory wools
brought $1.14 to $1.10, scoured
basis, while fine staple sold at
$1.18 to $1.20.
About 6i million pounds of
wool will be offered at auctions
opening August 27 in Denver
and August 31 at Billings, Mon
tana, each continuing three days.
With almost a million more
sheep shorn In the United
Stales this year, production of
wool Is expected o be the largest
on record, totaling over 302
million pounds, despite the fact
that average weight of fleeces
this year was smaller than- last.
In Oregon, however, wool shorn
this year is estimated 8 per cent
less than that in 1041 and 26
pur cent, less than tho 1931-40
average, the reason, of course,
being declining sheep numbers.
WHEAT
CHICAGO, Aug. 27 UP)
Small mill - and professional
trade orders lifted wheat prices
about a cent at times today, with
other grains, except corn, trying
to follow, but the market made
little headway toward recovery.
Flour business remained
quiet, matching the slow move
ment of new wheat into commer
cial trade due to the fact that
government loans are more' at
tractive than market prices.
. Wheat closed unchanged to Ic
higher compared with yester
day, September $1,171-1, De
cember $1,201-1; corn Ic off to
ic up, September 83-83 Ic, De
cember 85l-86c; oats Ic up; soy
beans 1-1 Ic higher; rye unchanged.
Labor Shortage Strikes at
Oregon Beans,
PORTLAND, Aug. 27 UP)
Oregon's hop, bean and prune
crops faced a crisis today as the
latest agricultural victims of the
labor shortage.
Five thousand hop pickers
arc needed immediately in the
Salem area, the U. S. employ
ment service said, and bean
growers in the same region are
short 1000 harvesters. The sit
uation was more acute than
had been expected because
later : maturity of the beans
dovetailed that harvest with the
hop season.
