MARKET LAMB SUPPLY IS
LARGER; BUYING C II

WASHINGTON. June 1s.-supplies
of sheep and lambs available for mar
ket in July and August win be some
what larger this year than last. &C.
cording TO an estimate isseud today
by the department of agriculture.
Market and field conditions between
now m the end OF July win largely
determine whether this increased
supply will move to market during
the two months named. Marketing
during this period in 1922 was the
smallest for any corresponding time
since 1917, the decrease from 1920
amounting TO more than 600. 900 head.
The supply of western early
dropped lambs promises TO be larger
than last year. Idaho Is the prin-
cir; source of such lambs during
July int August. furnishing. ms n
rule, more than so per cent OF the
total supply of western lambs in
July and more than 40 per cent in
August. Other western states usual
ly contribute something to tho two
months supply, the amount varying
considerably from year to year be-
cause OF the effect OF varying climatic
, 1923-06-17

and the range has been somewhat
backward The general situation of
June l, however. was considered ia
vorable. Supplies in these states
available for marketing in July and
August should be at least as large
as last year.
In Colorado, Montana and wyo-
ming the number Of lambs saved was
larger and their development has been
generally satisfactory. Although the
late spring retarded the growth of
the range somewhat rain fall has
beer ample and on June 1 conditions
were very promising. Favorable
market conditions may bring in.
creased early shipments from these
states but prices OF feeders rather
than fat lambs are OF paramount in
terest to growers in these states.
The situation in Arizona June !,
was poor,
There is n great decrease in con.
tract buying OF lambs in the west this
ear as compared with last and lamb
feeders seem to have adopted a wait
ing policy. Some contracts have been
made at 10 cents a pound but there
is no rush to buy at this price.
