SHEEP-About fourteen double decks
or around $500 head, comprised the run OF
sheep and lambs today, as against 500
head week ago and $3.50 head for the
corresponding day year ago. Included
in the shipments was a deck of goats
Quality Of the supply showed no improve
ment over the last few days back. there
being very small proportion Of good
stuff among the offerings. Sheep were
more numerous than lambs, the same as
on yesterday. Consignments came largely
from Montana, Wyoming and Idaho.
As on yesterday the opening of the
market showed little, more life than on
the first two days of the week and a fair
volume Of business was transacted during
the first rounds. or course. buyers went
about picking UP most desirable killers
first and bought the commoner kinds
little later In the morning. 1t may be
mentioned here that the packers and
feeder buyers are beginning to compete
with each other on the common to
medium stuff and this fact has made
trade little more active of late. An
other feature is the continued good de-
mand for anything at all choice and as
is coming as yet sellers are enabled to get
better prices for the less desirable
grades. Included in the first sales were
some range lambs at $7.40 and a bunch
Of ewes that brought 1910,
In the lamb division everything was sold
by 11:30 o'clock, the general trade being
fairly active all the morning. According
to prices paid lambs are steady to strong
with yesterday. Among the later sales
were two cars Of Idaho lambs that
brought s7.35 with 100 head out.
A complete clearance Of fat sheep was
not made until well along towards midday
and although the early trade was rather
brisk business on the last rounds was
slow and dull. Prices on fat sheep were
no better than steady. A four-car con-
signment of Idaho wethers sold at $450

CATTLE-Cattle receipts were light to-
day, as was to be expected on Thurs
day, only seventy-fiye cars being reported
In. For the week receipts foot up 15,2S2
head, being gain Of almost 5000 head
over last weeks very light run, but
falling off of over 10 900 head as compared
with the same days a year ago.
Considering the good demand that mas
prevailed at this point all the week 1t
was only natural with such light receipts
today to expect a good active and steady
market. Unfortunately advices from
eastern points were very discouraging.
with the result that the market opened
slow and lower on beef steers Buyers
apparently wanted the cattle, but they
| felt that prices here were too high Tor
that kind of cattle coming and We're
| not at all anxious to load with any fur
| ther purchases unless they could pe Sc
cured at little lower figures. While
| there was nothing very good In the yards,
| the bulk OF the receipts consisting OF
| trash, there were few cornfed yeariinss
| good enough to bring $50.
The market on cows and hefers was
pretty slow and while prices were largely
| steady the feeling was weak ana some
| sales looked, II anything, little easier
| than yesterday.
The fine rains reported over the greater
| part of the western country have had
stimulating effect upon the market for
stock cattle and feeders. The result has
been that cattle of that description have
been active sellers all this week and were
still in very good demand this morning.
| Prices paid were fully steady with yes
terday. Stock heifers have been in very
active demand and they are sharply
| higher for the week.
