Sales

Sheep-Receipts small: shipments The
receipts of sheep and lambs this week, while not
large, indicate increase Of nearly 200 over
last week, but decrease OF over 16O0 compared
with the same week year ago. and little change
compared with the corresponding week two years
ago. Thus far this year the receipts are over
1900 smaller than the same period last year. and
there is a loss OF over LOO thus far this month
compared with the same period a year ago
Throughout the week the supply in excess Of the
requirements OF local butchers was too small TO
be attractive. TO shippers. and. therefore. there
not much opposition from that source The
quality generally reasonably satisfactory,
and therefore, there has been no occasion for
any material change Improvement IN values.
Therefore, IL may be said that the maI<et all
week has been steady, although at the extreme
close OF the week occasional sales. possibly on
account OF improvement in quality, repre-
sented a shade higher prices than had been paid
earlier In the week. II is the time OF year when
some Improvement in the marketing should be
expected, and especially far spring lambs
are concerned. 1t is also the time that buyers
usually force prices of this class OF stock to a
lower level and. therefore. shippers should be
on the safe side by allowing a wider margin for
shipping The highest sales reported this week
were 81 for spring lambs, 50. 80 for yearngs, 81 %
for clipped sheep, and $3.50 for wool sheep. The
receipts to-day, usual at the close of the week.
were small and the supply was taken by local
butchers at steady prices compared with yester-
day Spring lambs sold from $3.50 70 81, year.
