day. In a few cases there was buying of
stocks on the strength of special develop

start to finish everything being sold in
good season. Mexican yearlInge from the

choice lambs on sale, but western ewes
sold up to SALE.
When IT came to the half fat stuff the
market did not seem to be as brisk, and in
fact was weak to a dime lower. AS has
been previously stated, buyers always
pound the half-fat stuff whenever there is
good run of the better grades.
Quite few feeders arrived today, and
as the demand was in good shape fully
