are now about 5 cents under last

ratio all week and is certainly in a
most unsettled condition. In spite Of
the recent reaction there is evidence
that prices will go lower. 1t is gem
orally conceded that the market is en-
tirely too high and a considerable drop
would be warranted. Our market has
been far and away the best in the
country this week. At times prices
paid here have been 1920 cents high
er than any other Western market.
Sheep receipts nave been unusually
heavy, due to big shipments from the
West. Only a small part of the stuff
received has been on sale so that the
market has not been ov~erburdened.
Western stuff of all kinds is in best
demand and natives are neglected
when the Western can be mad as was
