Hogs-Receipts. 5000; shipments. 5000. The
marketing of boss for two days shows a de-
crease of over 1000. compared with the same
time last week. The market opened with
quite an Improvement in the demand from
shippers. and statesmen naturally expected
higher prices. Buyers protested against
paying any advance. but finally the offer
ings were hanging hands promptly at
strong prices compared with yesterday, and
fully as high as equal kinds sold at the
close of last week. In fact. a few opening
sales were considered 2l2a5c higher. Pack
ers were very indifferent from the time the
market opened, and they refused TO trade

Sheep-Receipts. 1900; shipments. 500. The
marketing of sheep and lambs was larger
than expected. but the total for the two
days is smaller than the same time last
week. The market opened with a fair in
curry from local butchers. and statesmen
succeeded in transferring n part Of their
c-OnsignmentS at nearly steady prices. but
shippers. on account OF unfavorable East
ern markets.. were very backward and re-
fused to trade except at lower prices. Sales
men were finally forced 10 take of 3n50c
compared with the high time last week. A
few lambs sold early as high at $5.25. but
S4.75 was practically the top. and ordinary
lambs sold as low as &15 There We're no

Horses-Only about 100 head of horses ar
rived for the regular sale of Warman.
Black, Chamberlain * Co. but this is about
an average supply for this time in the
week. The receipts were principally chunks
and heavy horses. and a few good drivers
were offered. The quality for an average,
however. was not up To the standard set
last week. The attendance OF buyers was
also smaller, and with lessened compete
ton IL was a little more difficult to cOnsum-
mate sales and the results We're hardly as
satisfactory as q week ago. There was not
a great deal Of change, however. on desir-
able horses, and the pest grades We're prob
ably as high as they have been at any time
this season. Eastern dealers were the prin-
cipal buyers, but there was a fair inquiry
for export and from the Southern trade.
The small supply was exhausted in good
season and the closing was steady at OPEN
ing prices. In addition 10 their regular auc-
ton next TUESDAY the above firm Will hold
their second sale OF Western range horses,
which will consist OF fully 1000 head.
