Representative sales,

SHEEP-The two cars of lambs that
made up the days offerings sold at
steady figures. They were weighty. seal
ing eighty-seven pounds. and brought
$50, the same price as was paid for yes
terday's heavy lambs. As was noted yes
terday, best light and handyweight lamos
are nominally quoted TO 800, and on
this basis are not far from steady with
last week. Weighty or unfinished kinds
are around 10ql5c below a week ago, and
as runs were OF generous volume the
first half OF the week, anything except
the best lambs were slow sellers.
What feeding lambs have been bought
have been mostly on the heavy order,
no light lambs showing up. Top for the
week ir 1856, that price having been paid
on several days. There is no quota Bile
change in feeder prices.
