took on very much more activity. Materially,
prices nrmed up and part OF the loss WAS
recovered. At the close sheep are generally
quoted around iodaOc lower than last weeks
close This would be true Of both killers
and feeders.
Feeder -lenbs constituted the great big
bulk Of the weeks receipts, and they.
naturally, broke the worst. a good many
lambs selling the middle OF the week a
good Doc lower. As the market became
more active, a reaction set I'm, and at the
close prices show only about sSdSc loss, as
compared with last weeks close. Fat
lambs. while IN very moderate supply. broke
down along with feeders.
An interesting feature OF the weeks run
OF sheep and lambs Is the fact that Omaha
and Chicago received in round numbers
identically the same number during the
first five days Of the week. namely 122,OOO
head. This shows more plainly than any
thing else the shifting OF the sheep trade
westward in Omaha, due to the fact that
this Is the center Of the sheep feeding dis
trlct and hat the stock naturally comes to
the point where the demand is the best.
