SHEEP-Receipts Of sheep were again
very large this morning, but. unfOrtunat ely,

arrive at the yards until late in the fore.
noon. These sheep were loaded at valley
before dark last night, a distance Of only
about thirty miles from the yard. but il
took them all night and a good part OF the
forenoon 10 travel that distance. Late ar
rival OF the stock naturally DELAYED the
trade, so that the morning was much fur
ther advanced than usual before buyers
and sellers got down to business.
There were a good many feeder buyers
In the yards again this morning, but they
were not as eager as yesterday, and II
was very evident hat the wire edge was
off the market; still there was a pretty
fair demand and some sales actually looked
strong, while others we're weaker.
The market on fat sheep and lambs was
also lacking In snap, being slow from tn :
very beginning, The fact that the Chi
caeo market was reported lower yesterday
and on Monday, especially on lambs, and
also again lower this morning made buyers
cession here. Statesmen worked hard 70
maintain the market, but in spite OF their
efforts the most Of the fat stuff had to
sell in the end around lOc lower than

CATIl4E-Receipts OF cattle were quite
liberal for Wednesday-05 cars being re-
ported in. AZ was the case yesterday and
the day before. just about half OF the re-
ceipts consisted OF COW stuff, the run OF
cows and hetfers having been very much
larger than usual. There was also a very
fair sprinkling OF stockeTs and feeders, 50
that there was no great number OF oeet
steers on sale.
Spectators mad a great many stockers
ana feeding cattle on hand that they had
carried over from Monday and yesterday,
and It was not expected that they would
be very free buyers Of that kind OF cattle
this morning. still they we're out in good
feeders, but It was noticeable that the
demand called n ostly for the better grades
OF fleshy feeders. Cattle of that descrip-
ton sold about steady with YESTERDAY. On
we're slow and the tendency a little lower
on account OF the large supply on hand.
In view OF the number Of cattle on sale II
would look as il parties desiring stockers
or feeders ought to be able TO find most
anything that they might want.
When the market opened on beef steers
il became apparent that there was really a
pretty fair demand. while the offerings
were by no means large. The result was a
