A good attendance of buyers followed the nii.-l:e:, but towards the end of the salt> i roiled considerably. It seemed to us that there was a ready enquiry for the ■ Keaper type of ewe, but tho lack of ani.".iti'iu in tlie market was due to the inferior type of sheep forward. Wethers were fairly numerous, but only j;; trick lot.-, and were readily snapped up /••r home mutton purposes if they carried c"t lii'ion.
