In spite of the fact that early advicos
and conditions were all against the selling
interests, there was one thing in their
favor, the local demand was good. while
the supply was not burdensome. The result
was that the market instead of beng
weak as II promised to be early, turned
out strong to 10c higher and fairly active.

SHEEP-There was a very decent run
OF sheep and lambs here today, bringing
the total for the three days up to rs. 700
head, a gain OF ,35O0 head over last week.
and a falling off of over 1000 head as COM
pared with a year ago. While receipts
consisted largely of sheep there was quite
a sprinkling Of lambs. but mostly on the
heavy order.
The demand for choice light lambs was
good this morning, the same as II has been
nearly every day of late and as there
were very few Of that kind in the yards
the market did not show very much change,
the best here selling up to S6.l5. On the
other hand heavy lambs were extremely
hard to move and prices were &c lower
than yesterday. The market on wethers,
yearllngs and ewes was very dull and all
of 25c lower than yesterday. Even at the
decline buyers were not very anxious for
the offerings owing to the unfaVorable re-
ports received from their eastern houses. As
compared with the close of last week ii is
safe to quote the market on everything eX-
ceptng only best light lambs at 35q5Oc
lower.

HOGS-Receipts Of hogs were very lib
eral again today making the total for the
three days the largest that II has been in
some little time, although not 50 large as
for the corresponding period a year ago.
Other markets were also largely supplied
and early messages generally indicated a
sharp break in prices all along the line.
Under that influence buyers here generally
started out bidding 5Ql0o lower. and they
bought quite a number OF hogs early on
that basis. Later on as II became apparent
that the local demand was very good and
fully equal to or in excess OF the supply,
the marked firmed up very rapidly until II
was fully steady with yesterday, the de-
cline being entirely regained. AT the best
time the trade was very active and the
hogs changed hands at a rapid rate, every
thing in sight being disposed OF before
10 o'clock in the morning.
A glance at the sales will show that the
decline was largely on the light hogs, a
considerable string of the light loads hav-
ing sold yesterday at $50, with four or
five loads at F.55. Today there were COM
pRratively few sales above G.45. Heavy
hogs on the other hand sold largely at
ST. 35Q74O. with a sprlnkhng OF the rough
heavtes under these figures. The bulk of
all the sales was about the same as yes
