receipts of sheep and lambs for this week have
been only fair, showing decrease OF over 200
compared with the same time last week and
about 400 compared with the corresponding time
a year ago. The receipts to-day over 100
smaller than week ago and over 400 smaller
than year ago. There was fair demand from
local butchers to-day, ard. with about the usual
competition from other sources. nearly steady
prices were secured for all stock up to the re-

Horses-Fully $50 head of horses and about 100
head OF mules arrived for the regular auction
! sale OF the Warman- Black G chamberlain Com
pany against total of about 200 horses and
mules week ago and the same number year
ago. A better class of horses represented
principally OF chunks. OF course there were a
number of good draft horses and about the usual
| number of drivers. The demand was up to ex-
| pectations. and. with reasonably strong COM
! petition. the market fairly active and fully
| steady prices were realized compared With last
! week. There were not many horses here of any
krd good enough to sell as high as sl75, but
| several sold high $50. and the bulk of the
| receipts of medium to good chunks and drivers
mules and not a great many sales were reported,
but prices were steady compared with last week.
