CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET.
Lambs Reach S7.O5 During the Past
Dull Week.

The Chicago Livestock World gives
the following review Of Chicago sheep
markets for the past week:
Trade averaged about steady al
though it was somewhat uneven. A
top was made at $7.O5 on some Mex
lean lambs, Colorado-fed which is
nickel higher than yesterday, but they
were considerably better than any
thing that reached the 7-cent notch on
the previous session. Some lambs sold
at 81 with the wool on, but the general
market was very much like what it
was at the close yesterday. There
was a 10c slump on the bulk of lambs
late yesterday and that lis where it
was today. Sheep were about steady.
The whole market is in better condi-
ton than at this time last week.
With top on wool lambs at S7.05,
the bulk sold around $500 sales at
that price representing 7-cent goods
yesterday. Shorn lambs sold up to
$3.50 or cents lower than yesterdays
legitimate top. Bulk of trade in good
to choice shorn lambs was on a $3.50
a 5.75 basis and few had to sell under
s5.25. Shearers were willing to pay
steady prices, but were not able to get
much stuff, as they are after heavy
shearing goods, and most of the wool
lambs now coming are light shearing
Mexicans. Some medium clipped year.
lings made $50.
Shorn wethers made $3.50, the bulk
being quotable between that price and
$5.25. Shorn ewes were unchanged.
Killers bought wool ewes at $3.50.
Shearers paid s5.25 for 1O1-pound
wool ewes to take up the country-a
price that looked 35 cents higher than
a week ago.
