weeks run IL the heaviest OF the year.
Yesterdays trade was long -winded
affair, and II was late In the day be-
fore the bulk OF the lambs was cleared.
In tho end packers enforced their de-
cline, and the bulk OF the offerings sold
at sS.65. with a few as high as 1915,
which means that they were about n
dime below Tuesday.
Todays trade opened even duller than
Wednesdays, and buyers seemed very
Indifferent as to whether or not they
bought anything. one little string was
caHhed in early at about steady prices,
but packers were asking reductions, on
tho bulk OF the offerings. and as sellers
thought they got a pretty raw deal yes
terday. they decided TO hang on for n
while at least.
The ice was broken earlier than was
the case yesterday, when three or four
strings were cashed on steady TO 10c
lower basis. Several punches took e.G5,
with a few around $3.50. and a five-ioad
string as high as $50, the top. A good
share OF the lambs were still unsold at
noon. however
There were hardly enough aged sheep
sold up to lunch time TO make n basis
for quotations. Feeders also were very
slow In moving, the dullness OF the
butcher trade holding them back.
