SHORT SUPPLIES OF FAT SHEEP
. - SOUTH ISLAND POSITION. ' The shore supplies of fat sheep that are coming forward, ami the high prices ruling, will probably result in the butchers applying to the Board of Trade lor permission to obraiu mutton from the freezing works (says a Christchurch paper).- The yarding of fat sheep at Ad-, tlingion on Wednesday was unusually email, there not being much more than one-half of a week's' requirement. Every line of wethers reached Jtt per head and 'over, the top price being ,£3. There are probably a largo number of sheep to come in off turnips, but no doubt the lrad weather,and snow will delay fattening. Mcthven and other parts of the AshbnrtoD. district 'usually send forward good supplies of fat.-sheep-towards 'the end of winter and spring, but few. lines lave yet come from thero, and much of the best turnip jounu-y has been under mow.
