sHEEP-Receipts of sheep were light .h,s
morning. and as the demand on the part of
packers was fully as good as IL has been
the market ruled active and steady to
strong on all desirable grades OF both sheep
and lambs. Several trains we're late in ar
riving, but still they sold fast as they
were unloaded. Western lambs sold at
$40. which is the highest price of the sea-
son. Mexican yearlings sold at $6.75. It
was very evident that packers would have
bought good many more sheep and
lambs had they been here, and they claimed
they were unable to anywhere near flll
their orders,
There were very few feeders on sale, but
II is safe to call the market steady.
