could have been expected under the circum-
stances but the request from outside sources has
been small The quality this week has been Of
fair average but not up to the standard Of some
time ago. when there q smaller proportion
of grass stock. The fight this week has been
the hardest against the big heavy cattle in all
departments. but more especially in the steer
line. II has been very difficult to find outlet
for this class. and at the extreme close OF the
week IL was not uncommon TO hear of sales Csc

Sheep-Receipts, 100; shipments light. The re-
ceipts of sheep and lambs this week have been
Of fair volume. being nearly twice as large as
last week. but 100 smaller than the same week
a year ago. and nearly 1900 larger than the cor
responding week two years ago. Thus far this
year the receipts are little less than 5000
smaller than the same period last year. and for
the month thus far there is a decrease OF nearly
5000 compared with the same period last year.
Although the receipts have been larger this week
there was enough Increase in the demand TO on
set any naturally weaker tendency. and the re-
suit has been practically a steady market
throughout the week. Occasionally stock that
not fully up to the requirements did not sell
as high as expected, but throughout the week
the fat sheep and lambs have sold on basis OF
last weeks closing prices. The demand has been
better than usual from local butchers. and the
shipping outlet was larger on account OF the in
crease in receipts. Spring lambs have been sal
able as high as 81 almost all week. yearlings 49,
and sheep 81. Receipts to-day were small, but
about an average for Saturday. and clearance

troubles in connection with freight ham
dlers in Chicago and In the United States
Steel Corporation caused general selling,
and the close was heavy and looks lower
for next week. Many people believe to-day
that the heavy interests which have the
stocks have been selling them at every
opportunity, and that the foreigners have
been supplied during the last few days
from this source. Whether selling is caused
by labor troubles or something else is not
known.
