SHEEP-Tne week started out with good
liberal receipts Of sheep and with a gOoo
healthy market. Unfortunately, receipts
were pretty much one kind, there being a
surplus of sheep, a large proportion OF
them ewes, and very few lambs. In one
demand seemed to be especially good for
sheep. Buyers all had liberal orders and
It was a good active and strong market
right from the outset. Good wethers, the
same kind that brought $40 a week ago,
brought $50 today, but they were a little
lighter, which, perhaps, accounts for a
part OF the apparent advance Ewes that
sold last week at $40 brought A.75 today,
this being the highest price paid so far
for western ewes. There were yearlings
good enough to bring $500. While statesmen
were as a rule not quoting a very great
advance. still II is very apparent that the
market was higher than the low point last
week and just as high as IL was at the
best time last week, and as high as Il has
been any time this season to date.
The lamb market was not very active.
In the first place, the supply was small.
and in the second place, buyers did not
appear overly anxious for what stuff there
was here. so that the best that could be
said of the trade would be to quote Il as
slow at about steady prices.

since the middle of December, At the same
time other market points were reporting
large cattle runs with the result that
there was a sharp decline in prices all
along the line, especially at this point.
The quality of the beef steers at this
point was generally very poor. In fact
there was not a single choice load reported
at the yards and very few that, could be
here the market was safely lU@l5c lower
and dull at the decline, buyers not being
very anxious for the cattle even at the
decline because of the quality. Al the
same time there was q feeling that a really
good load of cattle would not show so
very much change from last week.
Cows and heifeTs while not showing as
much decline as beef steers were neverthe-
less lower. most statesmen quoting II as
anywhere from slow 10 10c lower than last

ceipts had changed hands.
Stockers and feeders, which for some
time back have been active sellers at
steadily strengthening prices were slow to-
day for the first time in several weeks.

not very interesting, for while there was
was rather dull and featureless. Packers

good deal OF work to secure steady prices
on anything but the best loads. A good
