SHTEP-There we're no sheep or lambs
on sale this morning consequently values
remained nominally the same as on yes
terday and Thursday. Twenty-one loads
arrived. but seventeen Of them stopped
here only for feed and water, the remain
ing four being shipped direct to a local
packer.
For the week the receipts foot up 105,ooo
head. being about 200O0 more than last
week. but in the neighborhood OF $1,000
head short for the same time year ago.
While the supply was considerably
larger than last week. there was q good
outlet for everything on sale The de-
mand was best for anything choice on
the killing order. the less desirable stuff
being in good request strong feeiing
to the trade prevailed all the week and
business had constable life on most
days. clearance of the offerings being
made In good season daily. At the close
Of the week fat lambs are fully 25Q4oc
higher than the end OF last week. Lambs
were in comparatively liberal supply, the
bulk being Of pretty fair quality. Fat
sheep show an advance OF &c In COMPARE
son with week ago. A fairly large NUM-
ber of ewes were on sale, while wethers
and yearlings were in meager supply. Fat
yearlings sold better than any other class
Of sheep.
There was q broad and active demand
for both feeding sheep and lambs, clos
ing prices ruling all of 10915c above those
at last weeks close. A fairly large num-
her of desirable feeding lambs was avail
able and practically everything was pickeo
up In good season. About 44970 head We're
reported as sent to the country, as com
pared with $3.50 head last week.

set in about 4 o'clock Saturday after
noon and continued until after midnight,
interfered with the opening Of the pure
food show only so far as the attendance
was concerned. All of the program was
carried out, including every number by
the orchestra and the food demonstrations
prepared for each booth. The big build
ing was not crowded at any time during
the evening.
Those who braved the disagreeable
weather conditions were fully repaid and
remained throughout the evening. They
were charmed by the decorations and
the brilliant lighting effects In all the
booths. At all of the booths there was
no restriction placed upon the distribu-
ton Of the free samples of things good
to eat, and many people sat in the COM
Portable opera chairs in the balconies
and nibbled the dainties while listening
to the fine music of the Arthur Smith
band. The music was keenly enjoyed and
many of the selections were heartily en-
acter of the music furnished:
March-Stars and Stripes Forever .Sousa
Overture-Luetspiel ............ Kela Bella
Selection--Fair Co-Ed ............ Luders
Gavotte-First Heart Throbs. .Eilenberg
March-Gray Cavalier .............. Losey
Selection--Serenade ................ Herbert
Novelette-Fife ..i............-.. Mcpherson
Waltz-Espana .!............. WaldteufeI
The unusual number of stringed instru-
ments softened the music to the degree
that made 1t just audible above the babble
of voices of the crowds surging around
the booths The concerts will be one of
the attractive features during the week.

,CATTLE-Cattle receipts were very
light today, there being nothing of any
Importance on sale. Fer Sle week re
ceipts foot up 8.2n head, being the largest
for a number of weeks back, but smaller
than year ago by almost 1000 head.
The market on beef steers throughout
the-week has shown but little change.
The desirable killers have been firm and
the feeling at the close Of the week Is
that If there were any here they would
sell fully as high as any time. On the
other hand the medium to inferior kinds
have been a little slow on some days and
they might possibly be a shade lower
than week ago.
Cows and heifers have had strong days
and weak days, but at the close the mar
ket is practically unchanged from what
1t was week ago. The demand through
out the week has been good and receipts
q Sale . RUE nave met with quite rea0y
Good feeding steers and good to choice
light yearlings have been In active de-
mand all the week and prices are now
little stronger than week ago. On the
other hand receipts of common to medium
stock cattle have been very large, good
many being shipped to this point from
other markets. The result of this flood
Of inferior stuff has been to break the
market and they are safely &c lower
for the week, with some of the most
common and least desirable kinds pos
sibly as much as SOC lower.
