Day. The market was fairly active
and the general trade was easily
steady and before the close a number
Of safes looked to be a nickel higher.

Sheep and lamb receipts totaled L.
500 head. In spite Of a light run of
sheep and lambs. the trade was slow
and dull. with prices generally weak to
l0115c lower than the. close OF last
week. The slow and dull trade was
attributed to the disconraging advices
from eastern points and to the packers
claiming that the schedule of prices
on this market was already too high
compared with Chicago. Some native
lambs brought $3.50 and a shipment
of Mexican yearlings sold at $3.50.
