sHEEP-Receipts were light this morn
ing, but Il was holiday and the demand
DID not appear any too brisk. One thing
that made buyers a little slow was the
feeling that prices at this point have been
too high as compared with others. The
result was 9 slow market, anywhere from
steady to iOglbc lower in spots. Yearlings
which sold 30 high yesterday were espe-
cia4ly slow and weak today. It was in
many ways a typical holiday market and
II was much later than usual before q
clearance had been effected.
