been lighter this spring than for many
years. This scarcity OF stock. coupled
with the active demand aud the high
prices paid for pelts. has been the
influence which has contributed
TO the trade In all kinds of mature

the prosperity enjoyed by other kinds
of stock but the current market is the
best of'the season. so far, and still bet.

lamb trade belongs TO June. and there
is very little use of trying to push II
before that date. Consumers of lamb
chops do not care to have them cut
from "springers" and the butcher has
taken the hint and will not buy them
much abovS yearling prices. The WOO

looks trif1e top-heavy and a dull
