SHEEP AND LAATBS-The receipts, some
400 head in excess of last weeks numbers,
are ample for the very limited demand for

rates ruling for that kind of meat the live
sheep and lambs received here are very
difficult of sale at the low figures prevail

pound gross, and only few at the latter
figure. Lambs 4a51S cents per pound
gross, and few extra good at 9 cents.
