very moderate, the demand for all breeds ruled dull, at
barely Monday's prices. The extreme quotation for the 25 a,

with sheen, which moved off slowly, at hardly stationary al
figures There was a dull inquiry for lambs, at a decline 20 LC
in the currencies of 41 pier B'bs. The top figure was 6s Btl • St.
