the first bout: n now, il he was no,
much mistaken, his opponent had made
a false move.
That opponent, following with a
somber face, began to be OF the same
opinion. In his simplicity he had sup
posed that it would be easy to bell
the cat. But h cat had teeth and
claws and the cunning of the cat and
was not, 1t now appeared, an animal
easy to bell.

James said CURLY.

And they trooped out at the back.
Now, what is it?" The McMurrough
asked. turning on his followers and
speaking in a tone hardly more civil.
Its what you're saying-Get OUT
Asgill answered, smiling. .Only it's
the Colonel here's for saying it, and
it seems I'm the one to get out
What do you mean?" James growled.

SHEEP-The bulletin OF sheep receipts
was blank today. as Is usually the case on
Saturday, and OF course the market re-
mains nominally steady.
Supplies this week ave been compar-
atively heavy. especially during the first
three days, as will be noticed In the stock
receipts column. The official count for
the week is almost twice as large as last
weeks total and exceeds the total OF the
corresponding week OF last year by almost
10000 head. Practically everything on sale
this week has come off of the range and
approximately IS per cent OF arrivals were
feeders.
Butcher sheep Of course made up the
large portion of the weeks run, and any
bearish inclinations among buyers centered
on this class OF stock. However, the mar
ket level yielded but a trif1e under each
days effort TO punish values and prices are
only about lOdl5c lower in this branch OF
the trade than they were at last weeks
close. The trade for the most part has
been rather quiet and slow, induced largely
by liberal receipts and increased sorting
Fat lambs met with a broad demand as a
rule, and anything desirable in young kill
ers moved readily at good strong prices.
The value level Is auotably strong
as compared with last Saturday.
The inquiry for feeders is still vigorous,
and while the supply has been fully nor
NAL for this time OF the year and prices
relatively high, feeding sheep and lambs
