The entry •was an unattractive one, practical.y no exhibition consignments being included in the catalogue. Tlie proportion of wethers was smaller than usual, and as many of the pens were uneven both ns regards age and condition, the few pens of really good sheep and young sheep found ready competition. Ewes of all grades were on offer, and here again the greater proportion of the entry represented old sheep. Young ewes, handy weights, were in demand, but uneven lots or over-fattened exhibits were hard to dispose of. We consider tho market hardened somewhat towards the end of the sale, although 'A 1) OINO TO N Ai AKK L T AS i-oLLOVS : —' ;no wooi, izs ou io j.-s juu. FOR BEST KESUI/TS CONSIGN \OTjR STOCK TO 11.
