SHEEP-Trading In the sheep barn To-Day
was simply a repetition OF conditions exist
ing every other day Of the week-slow and
draggy, with prices steady. This does not
mean that the market Is I'm bad shape, for
II Is not; there is good demand for both
feeders and killers and prices are salts
factory. The slowness Is due mostly to the
TACT that the sheep have TO be sorted and
statesmen are not ready to trade until this
Is done, which makes the market late. The
receipts were light today, only about four
teen cars arriving Quality was good and
feeders were well represented As noted
above, the opening market was slow. stu
buyers were looking over the stun and pick
ing up some small lunches as they went
along. Feeder buyers are beginning to line
up In earnest now and there are plenty OF
orders to be filled.

CATTLE-Tne run here was small, about
ffty-siX loads being on sale. These re-
ceipts were some eighteen cars heavier
than last Friday and about fifteen cars
lighter than the corresponding Friday of
last year. The general quality of the re-
ceipts was good and the cattle were mostly
westerns.
With the receipts light and good feeling
prevailing after the slight advance yester-
day sellers found themselves I'm a position
TO bull the market to some extent. Beef
steers, although they constituted the big
end OF the receipts, were in small supply,
and on this account they were picked up
in good season. Buyers wanted supplies
and went right after the cattle, taking on
the stun at stronger prices. Some OF the
choice grades, in some cases. looked little
higher, but II was only on something thu I
suited the eye of the buyer The market
held up in good shape this week and the
probabilities are that with light receipts
next week prices will go higher.
There was only a small supply OF cows
and heifers here and buyers went right
after them. The feeling on she stun was
good all the week and prices are higher to-
day than last Friday on everything except
Gamers The stun was all cleaned up early
and trading was active Prices generally
were stronger, with now and then a sale

Bulls, veal calves and stays were in a lit

sistency and strength during that period
than at any time during the week. A good
effect was produced on sentiment by the
fact that such substantial market leaders
as Union Pacific and St. Paul were full
participants in the movement to the ex-
clusion of some of the less influential spe~
cialties which have made up so much Of the
markets prominence on recent days. But

spectalties which may be moved with much
less expenditure Of effort. With the sub
sidence of the early active demand a droop-

protessedly based on growing confidence in
