Sentiment in the wheat pit was bearish
all day. but during the last hour the de-
sire to sell became less urgent and the

The market this week has been IN
rather unsatisfactory condition. UnreaSon-
able warm weather In the east as wen as
in most sections OF the west has limited
the consumption Of mutton to a very large
extent The falling OF I'm the demand was
felt first at the eastern markets which de-
clined, while the market at this point was
strengthening up. The result was that
the FIRST Of this week the market here was
as high, and in spots possibly higher, than
I'm markets farther east. AS eastern mar
kets continued to break down packers az
, this point naturally took the bear side and
working to a lower basis AS receipts here
have consisted largely of ewes, they nat.
urally have suffered the most, being right
as 25c lower than Monday. On the other
hand good lambs, wethers and yearlings
are, as rule, only about l0gl5c lower
Even after the decline the market az TINS

! The Chicago Drovers Journal Of yester-
/ day quoted the bulk of the sheep and year

gain over the corresponding week of q

good, the receipts consisting largely of
warmed-up or half fat steers. with only
light sprinkling of the better grades.

pretty fair shape all the week, in spite Of
