The sheep market has witnessed another
week of excessive receipts and low prices.
Fully 81, 800 sheep and lambs have
arrived within the last five days,
which, following upon the heels
of S0,225 recorded for the previous
week was more severe strain than the
market could be expected to Withstand.

cents, the present range of quotations be-
ing 95 cents, and s. % for poor to choice
sheep and 81 500i p for lambs. Not many
of the sheep were good enough 20 bring
more than 50, and prices below f2.15 took
the greater part of the lambs. The out
look for the remainder OF this month is
not very bright, but there would seem to
be little danger of any further shrinkage
of values. At the prevailing low prices a
good many sheep and lambs are goiug to
the country for FEEDING purposes. Re-
