steady, compared with any time re-

spring lambs on sale were taken by
local butchers at $40. Sheep sold
steady.
Horses Sold Well.
The weekly horse auction found re-
ceipts fair and prices strong. The run
of stock included mostly work horses
of the better grade. These were in
good demand and sold well. Road
