Mr.. Hamilton expected TO secure

his assistants used in preparing the
oil in the pots in order to secure their

down and removed the cover from

REPORTS FROM
WOOL MARKET

Uuion Stock Yards, Chicago, June
3O.-Yesterday and today the supply
OF sheep and lambs here ruled extra
light. Packers have been unable to
get many from the southern markets
this week or last. The quality of the
offerings at Louisville has been very
bad; in fact the worst this season
and prices throughout the South are
Csc higher than one week ago. If we
are not mistaken, we will get a good,
strong advance here before the end
of the week on spring lambs and year
lings.
On the other hand sheep are slow
sale, especially heavy weights, which
are not bringing anywhere near what
they appear to be worth. There
have been no westerns on sale this
week to speak Of. Yesterday and to-
day we had some California wethers
which sold from $3.50 to $3.50. They
were very heavy hided; little too
heavy in weight, and only half fat.
Good, choice western wethers are still
quotable up to IL on this market,
and think some choice yearlings would
bring 7c. The California yearlings
sold yesterday at 1-2c were nowhere
near fat, and the price looked like a
very good one. We are looking for
several trains of western range sheep
next week and will then be better able
to give you the condition of the mar
ket, as well as of the sheep.
If any of our friends have spring
lambs ready to come, we certainly ad-
wise getting them in early as prices
are extraordinary high.
Some choice spring lambs would
bring Sc on this market today.
There is good inquiry for feeders
of all kinds. We sold one car load
of California yearlings as high as
5 lac this week-a strong price when
you take into consideration their quail
ity and weight, 80 pounds.
We believe anything fat should be
marketed, as prices are very good,
Yours truly,
