SHEEP Sheep commanded unevenly
higher prices this morning. The market in
many respects was a repitition OF last
Fridays session. At the opening the move
weighed IN with very little argument over
prices. Shorn stuff met With the better
the best clipped lambs selling at
$40. This is the highest price paid this
season on shor1 stock. The general mar
ket on shorn supplies was 10fl6c higher
than last week. Clipped ewes topped at
$57b and a load of clipped wethers were
good enough to make $5h.
Neither the advance was so marked nor
the demand so active in the wooded depart
ment. Only four cars OF wooded lambs
were on sale, there being practically no
ewes, wethers or yearlinRs. Wooled offer
ings moved At prices generally strong to
loo higher. The best wooded lambs here,
which were only fairly good, sold at IS. 30.
1t was generally conceded that a very
choice band OF Mexicans would bring as
Receipts in both the wooled and shorn
offerings were light, there being only
twelve cars in all reported. Toward the
latter end OF the session trade took on an
easier tone. and while there was no per-
ceptible depression In prices, It required a
greater effort to effect a movement in the
balance OF supplies at the advance. Every
thing, however was sold in pretty good
season.

was irregular. the December delivery be-

with saturdays final figures, Corn and
oats closed steady and provisions steady,
Traders in the wheat pit were divided
In their opinions regarding the situation
and as a result the market was nervous
although during the greater part of the
day the sentiment was inclined a tritle to-
ward the bull side. Buying of the July de-
livery by a leading bull was one Of the
features of trade and was largely respon-
sible for the fiTmness News of the day
was about evenly divided, foreign advices
being bullish and domestic news more IA
vorable to the bears. Foremost among the
latter was the official forecast for warmer
weather generally throughout tn, principal
wheat growing sections of this country.
This had q depressing effect on the dis
tant deliveries and was the principal reason
for the closing decline of &c In the De-
cember option, Demand for cash wheat
here was brisk and Minneapolis and Du-
luth also reported a good demand. A NUM-

CATTLE-The total receipts Of cattle

was about the same as one week ago. and
a little larger than a year ago. Among the
arrivals was a very good showing OF beef
steers.
Conditions in the beef market this morn
ing were all favorable for the selling side,
with the result that the market was active
at an advance of lc over last weeks close.
Pretty much everything changed hands
early in the morning at the advance noted.
While there ware no very choice cattle IN
sight there were some good enough TO
bring S6.55.
Cows and heifers also showed an advance
OF about 10c over last week and the move
ment WAS quiet brisk at current prices.
Stockers and feeders commanded good,
strong prices, the same as they have been
for some time back. Good, light cattle es-
