here was due in no small measure to
the recent 4Oc advance and the good
close last week.
Sheep.
Sheep were scarce. Lambs were in
demand, direct consignments to pack
ers being late.
Local receipts Of sheep and lambs

expectancy of most traders who had
counted on last weeks advance to draw
out a larger run Of natives than ma
terialiZed. but there was a generous
supply in the aggregate around the
market circuit and one that suggests
the need of conservative marketings
the remainder of the week if current
prices are to be maintained, altho sup
ply figures considered, the trade gave
an excellent account Of itself.
