Receipts of western sheep were very lib
eral last week and the market started out
today with a supply of 10000 which was
ample for the requirements. However,
there was an excellent demand from all
sources and trading was active at firm
prices. A string of 716 fancy 74-lb. Idaho
lambs brought $5.65, which is the highest
price paid recently for western lambs.
These were of exceptional quality and good
and good weight. Most of the western
lambs today sold at 1926 downward. Feed
ing lambs were quickly picked up at $46O
to $4.75. A band of 103-lb. wethers largely
yearlings. went for export at $4.25, and
choice 122 ID. Idaho ewes were taken for
the same purpose at 1885 with other choice
ewes for local slaughter at So Is, although
the bulk of the fair to choice fat range ewes
sold at So. 40 to $685. with good many 60
ing at 1885. A large number of good weth-
ers not fat enough for slaughter went for
feeding purposes at $3.50 to $685.. We do
not anticipate any marked change in the
immediate future.

CATTLE.
Last week closed with range cattle prices
IS to IS cts. lower than the preceding week
and with the liberal supply of 1900 head
today all except the very best grades were
weak to 10 cts. lower. Quality of the offer
ings was only fair and with liberal rece ipts
in the native pens buyers were slow to
take hold of the westerns. We topped the
market by the sale of 81 head of very good
Dakota beeves averaging ], 293 lbs, shipped
from Belle Fourche by H. H. Flagg, at
"a. 40 There were a few other lots at 81. 10

ing. We look for liberal marketing of
westerns for several weeks to come and do
not anticipate any particular advadce III
values. We therefore believe 1t IS good
policy to market cattle that are to be
shipped this season as rapidly as possible.
SHEEP.
This week opened with a very heavy run
of sheep, numbering $4,000 the bulk of
which consisted Of westerns. While there
is a very good demand from all sources,
on account of the oversupply values ruled
weak to lower on about all classes of wes-
terms. A string of choice fat wethers run
ming largely to yearlings sold for export at
$425, and another lot averaging 115 lbs.
went for the same trade at SAILS. These
were extreme top sales and the bulk of the
plain westerns went to feeders and killers
at $3.50 to 1915. Best western lands
brought IS IS, big string of the Wood Ida
hos selling selling at that price, while 54C
of the Morgan lambs from Idaho weighing
"a lbs. went at S. 25 1t takes something
very choice. however, in the line of western
lambs to bring above $5.15 at. the present
time. Most of the fair to good fat range
lambs sold at $4.85 to $515. very large
proportion of the receipts today consisted
of feeding lambs, and these sold generally
to 10 cts. lower than late last week.
