The Chicago Drovers Journal Of Thurs
day says: ''The upward fight Of the

difficulty. If shippers would send In on
ly what was good and for which there
is some demand prices would generally
be very satisfactory, but, instead, at this
season, it IS quite common for the bulk
Of the receipts to consist of q class of
sheep and lambs that does not suit any
body. Dealers naturally expect that this
advance Will open the hoodgates again
and pour in enough to paTalyze the
trade.
