sHEEP-The sheep trade was quiet throughout the
week. the supply being small There no partiou-
lar urgency in the demand either local or outside
account but the wants Of buyers considerably ex-
ceeded tho supply, and prices bave ru1cd frn and
higher in consequence. Good to choice g1ades have
sold at A75954 10, while inferior to medium 1ot9 vera
taken ut 50 50. Large receipts are looked for
during the coming week, and lower prices arc ex-
pected 10 prevail. lambs are salahle at $2.5o9A5o
