that kind opened early and active. Desir-
able lots answering TO that description
changed hands very readily at what looked
like good steady prices. AS high as $3.50
was paid for right good well finished ewes,
with the bulk of the good ewes selling at
$5.NQ525, The good stun was limited very
largely to ewes, there being very few de-
sirable wethers or yearliugs.
There was some inquiry for fat lambs OF
good quality. but the demand was not as
large as for sheep. with the result that
the lamb market. even on the good kinds.
was slow. AS high as 500 was paid for
lambs on the Mexican order.
While the good grades OF fat sheep and
lambs sold all right. the common to med

a continuation Of the conditions
which prevailed all last week. AS
