SHEEP-There was not even a hoof re-
ported In this morning to give the sheep
market n semblance of life. 1t has Deen
a peddling, erratic trade in the sheep barn
since the opening this week. AS was noted
yesterday, the official count for the last
five days Is not materially different from
the total for the corresponding five days
last week. The bulk of this weeks sup
plies, however, has consisted Of bona f!de
offerings, while last weeks receipts were
largely packers stock, consigned direct.
mostly spring lambs and wethers received
the first of the week, the demand this
week has had to be content with a light
supply OF poor quality. Choice fed killers
have been c~onspicuously absent, which
means that the market has reached It's
transitory stage, leaving prime muttons on
a quotable basis. Reports from other
points as we'll Indicate a pauoity and poorer

quality OF receipts. II wiz be easily under
stood that the live mutton trade at his
time OF the year IL very difficult to
analyze.
one trader who disposed Of his offerings
at a pretty good figure summarized the
weeks trade as nominally steady. Another
placed the value level at &d40c lower than
last weeks close. Practically no two op-
orators called the extent OF a decline the
same. The undercurrent to the trade has
undoubtedly been much weaker during the
last few days and the uncertain tone and
choppy values have left quotations open to
argument. The general market, however,
last weeks close.
