stuff carrying deem flesh brought
from 1856 up. Fat bulls were dull.
Colorado stockers sold at S4.10 Tues
day, and Colorado feeders, 935 lbs,
brought $4.65 Friday. Good kinds OF
stockers and feeders gained Is to 20
cents during the week. Pastures are
earlier in this territory than for II
years. and thin cattle are now in more
request on this account.
The run today is light at 5000 head,
same as a week ago. Market opened
steady, but strength 0 developed,
ani most sales of cattle were strong
to 10 cents higher than best time lest
week. Outside demand for fat steers,
which has heretofore been largely alb
sent. puts new life in all grades OF
cattle. especially lending confidence
to stocker and feeder buyers. The
general cattle situation is better than
it has been for some time.
Sheep receipts last week amounted
to 26.SS2 head, against 1866 head
the corresponding week last year., and
were made up almost entirely of kill
ing stock. Up to Wednesday the mark
ct vas on the boom and prices on
wethers $3.50. both record made pri-
ces weak. and wethers quit is cents
off. and ewes in some cases 25 cents
lower. Too many light weight Mex
lean lambs arrived, and prices of
such are off % cents. Best grades
are 5 to 10 cents lower. Receipts to-
day were upwards of 5000 head, en-
bracing $500 Arizona grass sheep.
The latter sold at $500 for sheep and
yearlings mixed. weighing 81 lbs, and
$500 for 80 lb. ewes. The generai
market today was steady to slow.
Best Colorado lambs brought $40,
weighing 70 lbs.
The horse trade last week was sat
isfactory to sellers. The outlook
seems good for range horse prices this
season. Heavy purchases for the
British army, the drought, the settle
ment of the Arkansas Valley. are
given as reasons for a shortage in the
supply, and consequent better prices
for range horses. Unbroken westerns
are worth $500 to $500 and broke
$4,000 TO $500.
