The material is in the form of a weekly summary of trends in the livestock market and is not intended to replace sprat day by day market reprarts.) C ATTLE M ARKETS The cattle receipts at North Portland on Monday were approxi mately 2500 head after the market last week had observed an unusually liberal supply totaling 3725 head. After a week in which the cattle market showed suprising absorptive powers, the market opened Monday more or less uneven with steers about steady, and the cows and heifers somewhat lower. Strictly good steers Monday sold up to $8. A t San Francisco prices on steers were fully 25 cents higher than last week's close with fed stuff selling at $8.25, although medium grade steers were $7. to $7.50. Increased supplies of light steers at Chicago last week brought a sharp) break, with prices on 750 to 900 lb. offerings dropping to $8,50 to $7.75. The heavy prime steers have remained more or less un changed and have been selling around $13. SHEEP AND LAM B M ARKETS Sheep and lamb arrivals at North Portland on Monday were consider ably below the usual amounts with Replace the liRBOR GRIÌGSTER uiith unionism! % CLEAN UP THIS LABOR MESS!

Good to choice trucked-in lambs brought $6.75 to $7. The market at San Francisco was also up 25 to 50 cents. Northern California and Oregon woolled lambs bringing $8.15 to $8.25 In Idaho last week a few loads of short fed lambs were contracted by Pacific coast packers at $7 to $7.25 a hundred. Practically all available supplies of lambs in California are reported in feed lots tributary to markets. Prices of new crop lambs at the beginning of the current m ar keting season last May were $3 to$4 lower than a year earlier. Little change occurred in lamb prices dur ing June and July, but they de clined in August and September when further large seasonal in creases in marketing occurred. The inspected slaughter of sheep and lambs from May through Sep tember was 5% larger this year than last The September slaughter was the largest on record for that month) HOG M ARKETS Hog prices last week worked to slightly higher figures but declined 15 to 25 cents on Monday with the receipt of about 2500 head. The market was active at these lower prices. Good to choice light butch ers in carload lots sold up to $8,50. The trend in hog prices has been downward since late July with a fairly sharp decline in late Sep tember and early October. The drop In prices since July reflects chiefly the Increase in markets of new crop hogs. The market movement of such hogs began in volume more than usual this year. The increased slaughter moved into consumption promptly however, so that storage holdings were the smallest on Oc tober 1 in 23 years of records for that date. Some improvement has occurred in domestic wool markets since June, but uncertain foreign situa tions, together with unfavorable weather conditions in the east, have been restrianing factors during re cent weeks. The average rate of mill consumption of apparel wool on the Increase, although the total for the first eight months of 1938 was about 35 per cent smaller than in the year previous.
