Sheep-Receipts none; shipments none.
] There was nothing here to test the market.
but indications were that for fat sheep and
lambs strong prices would have been paid.
| The kind that have been marketed this
week were of poor quality, apparently the
cuttings of the farmers hocks. Prices have
been going down on account Of this, but
with improved quality there would be i'm
/ proved prices, the commission men say.
