Minnesota fresh came In and the receivers were
asking 2Tc for them.

the available supplies closed out of first

SHEEP-There were several cars of sheep
and lambs in the yards this morning, most
OF them feeders billed through. The killers
among the receipts sold al just about steady
prices and there was no quotabie cnange IN
the situation as compared with yesterday.
Receipts have been light all this week, as
will be noted from the tables showing the
receipts. both lighter than week ago and
been no scarcity in the supply. As has been
detailed from day to day in these columns
the demand for both sheep and lambs has
not been very brisk owing TO the mutton

market points AS to prices, the market at
this point has been quotel steady during the
last three days, but on Tuesday and Wed

with the close of last week ii rs difficult to
see much change on the best grades. but
the common and medium kinds are some

started and continued over to this week.
At the present time values are generally
25c lower. even on the very best sheep and
lambs than they were on Tuesday Of last
week the day before the break started.
Common and inferior grades may have suf-
fered even more than that.
This decline has not been confined 70

market points, the only difference being
that South Omaha because OF the great
effort put forth to keep down receipts, has
not suffered as much as some other mar

vented by covering by shorts and by pun
chasing by some OF the larger commission

covery in prices before the end Of the first
