little weight with buyers. They started out
at the opening bidding steady TO a shade

any concessions, and as a result the trade
was slow, even In spite of light receipts.
outside of a shipment OF wooded lambs,
the anne quality that topped the market
yesterday, the bulk OF receipts wal only
fair on an average. The limited supplies
make it very difficult to call the market
at its true level on one or two odd sales
Of sheep trading figures looked 10 be some
what stronger than yesterday, but the bulk
was weighed up at quotably steady prices
and a weaker undertone was evident.
