SHEEP-Receipts OF sheep this morning
were the largest Of the year TO date. 10
fact, the largest of any day since the mid
die Of last November. Among the arrivals
were perhaps a dozen cars OF wethers and
earrings, and aside from that the receipts
consisted almost entirely Of lambs and
ewes. The quality Of the receipts on an
average was very fair; that is, there was
a good showing of fair to good killers, but
at the same time there was a considerable
sprinkling Of stuff not overly desirable by
reason Of a lack OF flesh or too many burrs.
or both.
The market opened with buyers picking
up the most desirable Of the offerings at
prices around 10615c lower, with even some
of the first sales as much as @c lower.
AS the more urgent orders were filled buy
ers were able to be a little more partiCu-
lar. with the result that later the sales did
not show up as well, making the general
market 1On25c lower than last week close.
In addition to the demand for packing
house purposes, there was also consider
able inquiry on the part Of buyers Tor
shipping account. AS a matter Of course
they wanted such stuff as would do t.
shear and feed out. The demand from
this source helped very materially in ef-
fecting a clearance and tended TO keep the
market in a good healthy condition.

CATTLE-There VAS a moderate run OF
cattle here today, 40 cars being reported
in. Among the offerings were a few pretty
decent killers, but there was also a con-
siderable showing of trash. The market as
a whole did not show so very much
change.
With only a few desirable beef cattle in
the market as a whole was in a good
healthy condition. AS a rule, both buyers
ana sellers were quoting prices about the
same as those which prevailed on Friday
OF last week. The most of the cattle sold
in fair season and the market was without
any especially new or interesting features.
Cows and heifers were also generally
about steady with Friday, but there were
quite a good many inferior kinds included
among the receipts, stuff that had been
shipped in on account of muddy yards and
mat was not in very marketable condition.
Such stuff did not sell any too well. but
still II went about as well as II would have
done last Friday.
There was nothing new OF very interest
ing in the stocker and feeder trade. The
receipts were quite moderate, but the coun-
try demand was not very good and specu-
lators were none too eager for cattle, so
that last weeks low prices we're not i'm
proved upon any today.
