official recount Of yeSter-
receipts OF sheep showed II total OF
IS head. In spite OF the fact that re-
ceipts were SO heavy, the great big bulk Of
the receipts was cleaned up before the
close, not to exceed fifteen to twenty loads
being carried over, so that although the
market was lower. the demand was OF no
eral proportions. on top of this big run
there were very heavy receipts today, SO
thal the barn was well FILLED again when
the market opened this morning. As was
the case yesterday, there WAS a good deal
OF sorting to be done, and there was SO
much stuff to look at that buyers wasted
a good deal Of time in getting down to
business, so that II was late before The
trade was really underway.
While fat sheep, especially ewes, did not
show very atuch change as compared with
yesterday, the seneral market on all xmas
was. l0q l6C lower. that is both feeders and
killers. Lambs especially were slow and II
was afternoon before very much roadway
had been made toward clearing up the
large number On sale. 1t seemed as II
only were the receipts at this point large,
but other markets were well supplied and
were sending Gu very discourasing reports,
making DuyCys even more bearish than they
would 9th -rwisC have been. The attend
n"ce at feeder buyers was not as large as
has been the Csse on some days, but for
SuiIlrlN &C Inn tslcn men had a COCO many
buying o deis III hand which helped out
very matlri.Uy
II will be l'membered that the largest
receipts i'm The history of the yards were
reported This week a year ago. Hence II
Is only reasonable to assume that the
shipping season is now at It's height. II
is an old saving that the time 10 BUY is
when the stuff rs for sale. With the yards
full Of te,dr & sheep and lambs and with
prices tor the two days 25Q4OC lower than
last week, Ii would look very much as II
this was the tllIC for parties wanting feed
ers TO get in their orders. 1t woulu be a
strange tning x the sharp break In prices
does not reduce shipments in the near fu-
ture, when 1t will be harder work to fill
orders than at the present time.

CATTLE@ReceIpts OF cattle were quite
liberal this morning, 269 cars being reported
in. This was a big falling off, however. as
compared with the same day last week,
when 1888 cars were received. For the two
days this week receipts foot up IL. $40 head,
two days of last week and 16, 6l5 head for
the same period a year ago.
Inc demand was again brisk for desiT-
able range beeNes and prices were fully
steady on anything that would do to kill.
On. the other hand cornfed steers were slow
sellers, even the very best kinds, no one
appearing very anxious for that kind OF
beef, packers evidently regarding the rang
ers as the better purchase of the two.
COWS and heifers were In active demand
and the offerings for the most part changed
hands in very good season in the morning.
The prices paid on the best kinds looked
in many cases stronger, while the general
claiming that cows and heifers are costing
them l5425c more than on Thursday, the
low day of last week.
Good weighty feeders were sought after
and they too were free sellers at fully
steady prices. On the other hand common
light feeders and trashy cattle of all kinds
were hard TO move, no one appearing to
want that kind.
