$4,000 sheep and 1900 calves.

weak. Some choice yearlings went at
$10.00@1015 with bulk of beef steers at
SS.25@9.5O. Cows and heifers We're also

going up to $500. Gamers and bulls were
slow at generally unchanged price levels.
Calves were weak for yealers, with choice
shipping lots steady. Outsiders paid $500
for choice animals but $7.00QS.O0 took

start. Some of the early deals were
nickel off, but later the trade was more
than 10 cents lower in many spots. Choice
Hight hogs sold at $S.35GlS.4O with 225
to 250-pound stock at $S.25@8.30 for the
best. Good heavy butchers made 5000
$40 Bulk of butchers went at 1880
30. Some plain packing stock went at
$500 with good lots at S7.25M7.4O

strong values an dafter a slow start the
good stock held without change but palmer
animals were hardly steady Taken as Il
