  We prove that if $I$ is a monomial ideal with linear quotients in a ring of
polynomials $S$ in $n$ indeterminates and depth$(S/I)=n-2$, then
sdepth$(S/I)=n-2$. Also, we prove that sdepth$(S/I)\geq {\rm depth}(S/I)$ for a
monomial ideal $I$ with linear quotients which satisfies certain technical
conditions.
