prime light ranging from S.75 TO $40.
Very few Of the offerings had the quality
below $40. Receipts were less than ex-
pected, and the quality was poor, rough
and light mixed lots comprising a large
part. There were many sales below 1915,
and some at $4.5Od455. Little pigs sold at
those figures. Good hogs were wanted. but
was uphill work 10 dispose OF low grades.
The sheep and lambs markets were in a
state or collapse. Within the last three
days something like 5000 head have been
dumped into the yards. and as one-half
that number would have been more in
harmony with the demand the buyers. OF
They were unwilling 10 pay more than

difficult to call out a bid of as much as

great bulk OF the sheep sold below $3.50.
and from S.2 10 1910 were the prevailing
prices for lambs. Ii was a tough market
all the way through. and at the close
