owing to the light supply offered the latter part of the week, 
and butchers have been more anxious to purchase. It is 
the opinion of many dealers that the rain we have had 
will have a tendency to keep a great many poor sheep out 
of market, and we may expect the market better. Good 
lambs are scarce, and good sheep are in demand, and good 
6tore ewes are selling well. The week closes with a light 
supply on hand and the prospect rather good. Mutton is 
selling by the carcase in Washington market from 4@8)4c. 
per lb., and lambs for 7©12)4c.
