SHEEP-ReCeipts of sheep were heavy
again this morning, putting tie total for
and last year 5 record for Tia. correspond
ing days. In spite OF the Dig run, the mar
ket as a whole has been IN pretty good
shape, the demand keeping wei up with
the receipts. When the market closed yes
terdaN practically everything in the barn
had been disposed of, so That when the
market opened this morning there were
only the fresh receipts 10 be sold.
AS has been the case every day this
week, owing to the large receipts and to
the amount OF sorting to be done, the
market was sloE in getting started. It tax
ing some little tme to yaIu ana shape up a
hundred or more cars OF mixed sheen and
lambs, including both feeders and packers
The feeling, however, VAS about STEADY:
in fact, packers, II anything, paid stronger
prices ior thelr rat lambs: AS compared
with a week ago, II is safe 10 quote fat
lambs az fully steady to IA little stronger.
Fat sheep have not been IN very large
supply on any day this week and they
have not shown much cnange, although
the tendency. II anything, mas been a
little easier and they are possibly a shade
plain that the quality OF the receipts il nor
very desirable, that is the supply of really
killers is small.
There were a good many feeder buyers
in the yards again this morning and the
market opened in about the same condi-
don as yesterday, the feeling generally
week ago, however, feeder lambs are
around lOq26c lower, the decline beng the
heaviest on the inferior to medium grades,
while strictly good feeder lambs have moi
sold so very much lower. Feeder sheen
and ewes have been in moderate supply ali
the week and they have not changed very
materially. At the most, they are not over
a shade lower.

Totals

CA1ILE-Receipts Of cattle this morn
ing were very large, 40 cars being reported
in. This makes the total for the Lnree days
this week 1900 head, as against 70, ~ head
last week ana $500 head a year ago.
Desirable klnas of beef steers were in
good demand and the market generally
steady. Inferior ana trashy kinds were
naturally slow and weak.
Cows and heiters were in very liberal
supply, the same as they have been ali the
week. The general market might be de-
scribed as weak to loo lower,
The demand for feeders was very brisk,
the same as II was yesterday, and prices
were again a little stronger. Desirable
kinds of both fleshy and light cattle were
to be offered for sale. The break in prices
last week seemed to have brought in more
than the usual number Of country buyers.
At the same time the supply OF good feed
ers has by no means been large, the
greater part OF the receipts this week run
ming to beef cattle and cow stuff.
