Sheep-There is a large falling off in The re-
ceipts of Sheep this week. the arrivals being but
little more than half rs many rs recorded last

have been making an upward n ovement in con-
sequence, and show an advance e about &c, and
the demand for all kinds is good, with still
further upward tendency, which may be check.
ed by heavy arrivals We quote fair to good
Sheep at 4a5c, and good to extra at 5a6c per ID
grvss. Stock Sheep at 2sS3 80 per head. Re.
cepts this week 1868 head, agsinst3542 last week,

moderate, considering the light receipts for sew
eral weeks past and the needs of the butchers,
