The run OF sheep was tile largest of the year
to date and there was sharp decline in prices.
A large proportion of the offerings were sold at
loss to the drover. Chicago drovers were
heavy losers as a large number of their stock
died in transit. The range of prices tor sheep
was So so to IS 10. A small lot Of choice wethers
