sheep and Lambs Active.

SlOCk dIuS, oilCdSO, NOV. "a
There was good healthy sheep and
lamb trade throughout and it closed
strong, with clearance good. Receipts
We're estimated late at $4,000, while
some called the run as high as 10000
during early hours. P ackers were
good buyers and competed freely with
one another, outside competition being
exceptionally small except from feeder
buyers who were after the half fat
well fed stuff, for which they paid
strong prices. Fat native lambs
topped at $3.50, and inferior Gull TO
choice lots went at $4.50@7.40, bulk
$7@725. Rangers were all feeders and
best sold at $40, with others at $6.S5
OF. Fed westerners sold to killers at
$7.25 down. Range wethers fed in
native feed lots sold sc higher at $3.50.
while q big band of yearlings sold at
$50. Native ewes went at $2@4.75,
bulk s4.25@46o. Odd wethers sold at
S5@5.25, with yearlings downward
from $3.50. Bucks made $2.50@3.50.
