clined of lac, owing to heavy receipts OF
poultry and the advent of the game season.
Fresh cans of high grade are in good de-
mand and some fancy sold at higher prices
than any on the market for few weeks

Sheep and lambs-The run for the week
has been unusually light, and good sheep
proved firm at a shade better prices this
week than last. Lambs were dull and
lower all along the line, as were common
and low grades of sheep.
Receipts OF hogs were large, the total for
the week being about IS carloads. Prices
are 60 10 zoe per cwt below range of week
ago. Best Phila5elphias were held at
81 o5 this morning, and nothing sold above
81 10 this week.
