/ there were only here aud there a sale at
| better than 81. 20. IL WAS because the lots of
/ really good castle were scattering. Quite
/ half OF the supply came here off the range
| and the larger part of the natives were
equally common. From 81 d394.bO took
| the bulk OF the native cattle ana the Tex
ans and westerns sold principally At s. 90
! as 20 Tor the former and 81 I5g 50 90 for
the latter. Stockers and feeders received
| some attention and were strong
In hogs part of yesterd iy's decline was
| regaiued today. The firmer tone was due
| TO the continued decrease IN the receipts,
only about 2U,CG0 head arriving today rs
against 81 Sl6 last Friday, and the total
/ for five days Of this week being %. coo less
than for the same time last week. Open
ing sales were on basis of -. 1915 % for
choice assorted light aud So 40 for the BEST
heavy and there was 10 soiJenIng OF the

ply. From >. 25(95 o. took most OF the
hogs. and - 1905 75 was the extreme val
ues for anything fir for the market. Culls

Prices for sheep range about the same as
for previous two or three weeks. Receipts
Tor this week show an increase OF ID COO
head, but the demand has been sufficient

prices, lambs were IL large supply aud
prices have taken big tumble. The best
OF tOday'S offerings were not wanted at
over S4OO1i ID as against 81 50(d4.0O for
similar qualities week ago. Receipts
have been more than zoo. 600 less than Tor
same time last year, but notwithstanding
h.r Ion Il h.
ranged from 15c To SL25 per hundred
pounds lower than then. Cattle aud
hogs are about as nigh AS they We're twelve
months ago. though supplies of both are
heavier. The very unsatisfactory condi
ton OF the sheep market may safely be
cribed to the fact that the buying business
is in the hands of three firms and that the
competition i nil. The range of quotations
