SHEEP-This has been an eyentful week

the previous high mark was S6,S21, which
arrived during the week ending October 81,

market on good stun has held up In very
satisfactory manner, which Is taken as an
Indication OF the liberal demand at this
point.
There were no fresh arrivals Of sheep

OF that fact the tendency of prices con-
