"As to the sheep market, I would not
venture an opinion. One cause of low
prices now is the light demand from the
New England trade. Last year we had
a good trade with the far east and ii
helped out wonderfully, but this year
they seem to be served pretty we'll at

trade is supplied east of Chicago,
roticed one day recently about 25,00(
head in the Buffalo market. There seems
TO be many sheep and lambs waiting tc
go to market. Very few of the bie
lunches in Neb .aslza have been touched
yet, and we have hardly started on tht
Colorado supply. | have been hopins
for an Improvement, but to be candid,
hardly see where it is coming from i'm
mediately"
