time recently. holding full up to the top
range this season. However. the So
steers of recent days have gone at ieas:
lcc lower than last week and the same
decline has applied to the 1866 a $50
stuff
Most severe decline has been shown
for kinds at s7.25MS.00 On Wednes-
day good many of these sold fully 25c
lower than last weeks closing and such
grades are in the belief Of many trad
ers. due for further liberal price cut
ting in the event OF continued liberal
runs Of Texas stuff in the west. The

was 10000
Sheep.
Live muttons closed sdemoralized
owing to flood of sheep apd lambs on
the market.
Sellers were placed at disadvantage
all week by receipts being in excess OF
the demand most days and buyers were
wearing bearish clothes from start to
inish and they did their work we'll.
much to the dissatisfaction OF the SELL
ing side of the trade, but there was no
way to stop them. The consumptive de-
mand everywhere has dropped off to
such an extent that it is being felt by
the retailers. who in turn diminish the
size OF their orders. and in that way
the packers are left with considerable
stuff on hand Shippers should be
cautious buyers during the next week
or so at least. and especially should
they get considerable margin when
buying anything but good to prime
kinds. as the range Of prices is un-
usually wide at the market and it is
hard to realize thes pread between the
various classes unless one Is in with
consignment that does not quite fill
trade requirements.
