SHEEP-The sheep market was very quiet, as
the supply for sale small. The receipts
included cars Of Texans that were shipped In by
Swift & Co, leaving only about so head for sale.
The offerings were nearly all lambs. So far as
the market went no material change was noted
from the close OF last week. All good to hest
lambs and mutton sheep are IN demand. but buy
ers are very particular as to quality and do not
hesitate TO throw out all thin and inferior ores.
Sales Included lambs at SC Is to 60 Gull lambs
at 81 to 81 90 sheep at 81. Is and bucks at sS23
