sHEEP-Receipts of sheep were very
liberal for the middle OF the week, 8,sOC
head being reported in, making the total
for the week to date 400 head. which was
larger than recent weeks and larger than
a year ago by 1900 head.
AS has been the case pretty much every
day, the bulk of the arrivals consisted OF
feeders. 1t was in one way fortunate that
such was the case, as there seemed to be
a very good buying demand for feeders.
both sheep and lambs. The attendance OF
country buyers was quite large, while com
mission men seemed TO have a number OF
very stable orders in hand, so that the
offerings changed hands quite freely,
while prices remained fully steady. In
fact, II anything. the market looked a
little stronger on the more desirable kinds,
at least. A feeder buyer paid as high as
A.8 for a very good kind OF yearlinss.
The market on killers was rather unsatis-
factory owing to the fact that advices from
eastern market points were generally dis
couraging. Packers all had unfavorable
reports and they talked lower prices right
from the outset, claiming that the market
on fat stuff was too high as compared
with eastern market The trade in con
sequence was rather dull and sales were
at least 10c lower and, In some cases,
buyers were calling their purchases al
much as 101l6c lower.
