SHEEP-There were only two cars OF
sheep and lambs here today any they were
sold TO arrive, so that the market was not
tested. For the week receipts have been
very light, a decrease being noted both as
compared with last Week and also with the
same week OF last ear. For the year to
date there IL a decrease Of over 1900 head.
In spite Of the light run the tendency Of
prices was downward most OF the week at
an points. Lambs suffered the most and
as a general thing IL Is safe to call them
ali the way from 15c TO 25c lower than they
were a week ago. Sheep ana yearlings are
also fully 10d15c lower for the week.
Ewes, however, have held fully steady all
the week and sellers have had little trouble
in disposing OF What they had II should
be noted that the greatest decline has been
on the grades. The quality Of
the offerings was lot extra good. which
doubtless had something to do with the
feeders arrived during the week and the
market could safely be quoted steady on
good stun.
