paid as high rs H.85 for best lights,
which equals the best price paid since a
week ago today. and on down for the less
desirable kinds.

son. and as soon as trading basis had
been established, was fairly active. Any
thing desirable sold at fully 5Qil0c higher
prices. $50 being the most popular
even bid on some OF the ruogh. heavy
packers. and II looked like there was a
good chance for dull finish on these
Kinds, but in the end practically every
thing was cleaned up I'm decent season
at the advance named.
SHEEP-There was another good run
OF sheep and lambs today. and while re-
they showed well as compared with most
recent Tuesdays. Supplies of forty-one

Chicago, ana a good deal larger than any
OF the other river markets. For the two
days receipts amount TO 2S.2Sl head, rs
against ll.661 bead last week. $3.50 head
two weeks ago and 30, 200 head year ago
The market opened in much the same
shape as on Monday. packers trying to
break lambs prices and sellers asking for
more money.
The trade continued very slow through
out the whole session, very little bust
ness being transacted until very late. IL
was really a deadlock between buyers
and sellers.
