FAT SHEEP.
There was again a full yarding of fat sheep, all classes being represented, although ewes largely .'pzedommated. Once again there were many complaints regarding the maE° ncr in which the drafting had been done, numerous pens being offered in the, fat. pens which should unquestionably have been yarded in the store pens. The sale opened at prices on a par with those ruling at the sale held on March 29, but as the sale progressed the demand for ewes eased, the supply of this description being- more than sufficient for requirements. Taken all round, prices sliowed no change from those of the previous week. lA good clearance was made, and 'both export 'buyers and butchers operated freely. The range of prices was — Prime ivethers 15/6"d to 17s 6d, extra to 19s, other Us 6d to 15s, unfinished 8s 6d upwards, prime ewes 12s 3d to 15s 6d, extra to 17s 6d, medium 8s 6d to 12s, aged and light 6s 6d to Bs, merino wethers 9s 9d to 10s 3d.
