and in most cases the decline was right
around 1OG1bc' on lambs, although on a few
prices might have suffered an even greater
decline. Sheep stuff ruled about steady
throughout, but there were not enoush
ewes or Nethers, either shorn or wooled.
to make much OF a market Wooled lambs
as well were in scant supply and OF course
actual tests of values at the decline were
impossible.
This mornings slump lie a reflection OF
today's prospects at other markets more
than anything else. Advices from Chicago
and one OF the principal river markets arc
Of a dlscourasing nature and packers at
this point were not slow in taking advan-
taee OF the situation.
The quality Of today's arrivals was not
very good on an average and this feature
served TO put ar easier tone on values.
A deck OF choice clipped lambs topped the
market at IS, two cars following close at

CATTLE-Receipts OF cattle this morning
were very liberal, some 1850 head heavier
than a week ago, and Included a large pro-
portion OF as good cattle as have been
mere this year. Advices from eastern mar
kets were by no means encouraging, but
the local demands was very gooo, Wnile
there were several shipping buyers on hand
with liberal orders and the market opened
not far from steady on the more desiraoie
grades. both heavy and light. on the only
partly fatted cattle bids and sales were
generally a shade lower and the trade
slow. AS has been the case for some time
past, the demand was best for the Mandy
light and medium weight beeves, and these
were free sellers from start TO finish. Some
of the heavier cattle were slow in moving
and prices shaded off a little, although the
decline was not at all serious.
The market for cows and heifers was Just
about steady with yesterday. The supplies
were fairly liberal, but, with a good de-
mand from both local butchers and outside
buyers, the movement was brisk from start
to finish with prices generally in yester-
days notches.
There was not a great Zeal Of activity
in stockers and feeders, although for the
most part prices were well sustained for
both heavy and light cattle. The demand,
however, is not very extensive at this time.
The volume of business was not very large,
but for the most part prices showed no
particular change.
