sheep-Receipts small: shipments none The
receipts Of sheep and lambs thus far this week
indicate a gain of 200 over last week, $50 over
the same week year ago, and nearly 1880 more
than the corresponding week two years ago. Thus
far this year the receipts over 5000 smaller
than the same period last year. and for the
month thus far there is a decrease of nearly $500
compared with the same period year ago. The
increase in supplies together with smaller re-
quirements from local sources, contributed to
lower market this week, and at time sales
practically in all lines soc lower than last
week. Toward the close of the week. however,
the market strengthened a little for strictly
choice stock. but the improvement was hardly
sufficient to be of any encouragement to the SELL
ing side. AT the reduction in prices shippers
were reasonably liberal buyers. and good clear
ances were made. The highest prices paid this
week were s. for spring lambs, Sc for yearlings,
and S4 for sheep, but at the close of the week
the top prices were practically Sc for lambs. $3.50
for yearlings, and $50 for sneep. AS usual

arrivals to-day TO establish a market and. there

to report in prices compared with yesterday.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS, May
S0.-Receipts small: shipments none. The mar
ketng of cattle this week has been of smaller
volume, the total showing decrease Of $50 COM
pared with last week and the same week year
ago. and $50 compared with the corresponding
week two years ago. Thus far this year the re-
eeipts are a little less than 1000 smaller than
the same time last year, and for the month thus
far there is a gain of $500 compared with the
same period last year. Probably the worst thing
that can be said of the market this week is that
the demand at all times has been Indifferent
and uncertain, and it has been difficult to con-
summate sales. Local packing houses have not
yet been using as many cattle as ordinarily, and
this, of course, had rather weak influence in
the business. The requirements from outside
sources, however have been larger than usual.
and with hard work statesmen were successful in
maintaining steady prices for the very best
steers heifers and feeders. There lack
of competition for the class of steers between fat
cattle and feeders. and they lost. probably. 1Oc
to 15c in prices during the week. Cow stuff was
also Disseminated against, and suffered a loss
of from 15c to Csc during the week. Bulls did
not show much change. and calves were lower.
The fact that certain kinds of cattle sold steady
was due largely to the small supplies OF that
Glass; and II is generally believed that supplies
in excess Of the demand will result in some
duction in prices at any time in the near future.
Therefore, it is very important that shippers try
TO avoid Cutting the market. The highest prices
paid this week were $50 for fat steers. A75 for
feeders ss5 for heifers, "a for cows. "a for
