FEILDING SALE
FAT SHEEP EASIER (By Telegraph—Press Association.) FEILDING, June 30. Prices for fat sheep were slightly easier at the Feilding stock sale held today.

In no case did the price exceed 225, whereas last week the best price for prime lambs was 225, and, for prime wethers 22s 4d. The drop was about Is a head. The yarding of store sheep was heavy and i-i-luded a large offering of breeding ewes. The demand for lambs was fairly good.
