REMARKS.
The supply is quite full this week,
some 1900 in excess OF last week. lhc
quality, though generally good is not up
TO that of last weeks offerings, some OF
the pens falling short in that respect,
though there are as good hogs on the
market as there were then. The demand
is reported good in all the yards and the
prices of last week are well maintained.

The quality this week is rather indifi-
crcnt, good sheep being scarce and the

those Of good quality; only stock sheep
are generally quite slow. We quote
sheep at 3G4i cts. for butchers lambs
3@3l cts; stock sheep, 81 jOG2 - as to
