SHEEP-Packers went after sneep offer
lngs this morning in much the same fashion
yesterday. Anything that was fit to kill
commanded prices strong TO a dime higher.
Fat wethers sold up as high as &.35, show
ing the null advance and ewes and wethers
mixed brought &.25. Inquiry was reason
ably broad and good clearance was made
early.
Total receipts were barely normal and a
larger percentage OF the run consisted OF
lamb shipments. Several strings arrived in
very good killing condition, but effort to
cheaper cost Is still part OF buying creed
and trade was rather dull. Best kinds
moved at generally steady prices however,
with medium dressers showing little
weakness. A top of S6.75 was made on a
bunch of choice grassers, which is highest
price quotable.
Feeder trade opened up in excellent form,
firm figures buying the bulk of offerings.
Early lamb sales were few, owing TO the
necessity OF sorting, but yearlings and
sheep moved readily. Feeder yearlings
brought S5.4S, the same as yesterday, and
feeder lambs sold around $e25 according
to quality and weight. Soaking rains in
the corn belt have broadened the outlet
wonderfully ard little fear is entertained
that the market will work lower Advances
in the scale OF prices for the four days
this week amount to eoQp35c and include all
classes Of feeder stock.
The condition OF the fat sheep market as
compared with trade at last weeks close
is also encouraging. Wethers, ewes and
yearlings all show quarter advances. Fat
lambs are in much the same notches, with
the tone to trade, IL anything, weaker.
