from Chicago and 40 from Ohio. Quality of
best offered was a shade below prime. Markets
were slow at a range of 33Ic to sc per pound.
As prices were reported l5c per cwt higher
than last week at Chicago, with no correspond
ing advance here, markets were far from
satisfactory.

$50 head. In the offerings were some extrs
good lambs and yearlings, which readily sold at

ing less than 100 head on the market Prices
ranged from o. to 81 for good stock and 215c
