per 100 lbs: Total receipts for the week 25O4
head; total sales for the week 1927 head. The
Offering this week were heavily in excess of last
week, and the sales effected Just double the num-
Der then sold. The quality averages very nearly,
If not quite. as good as last week. the only differ
cuce being that the tops last week were slightly
superior. Market active all through though |
prices were oil lc some few dealers reporting the
decline at less fraction. Baltimore butchers
bought some $50 more Cattle than they took last
week and country demand was more satisfac-
torily met.
Sheep and Iamb.-Thcrc is Il falling off in the
receipts rs compared with last week, of nearly
1900, and the quality is not rs good as it was
then, nearly all of the offerings being of u common
order. Trade is very slow depending, wholly on
the home demand, which is quite slack, the de-
CREASED supply hcng fully equal to and in excess
OF the demand. We quote butcher Sheep at 3a5ka
cents and Lambs at lac cents per lb gross, very
few selling at the latter price. Receipts this week
I4Ol head.
lloEs.-lhc receipts are slightly in excess of last
week, but the quality does not average quite as
good as the offerings then, as there are fewer su-
pcrior Hogs and more grlssers. The receipts arc
about equal to moderately good demand, and
prices are higher. We quote cOrnfcd Hogs at LA
ia cents. with a few extra at II cents and
grassrrs at 10a1 cents per ID net and hard to SELL
Receipts this week 4197 head
