One farmer shipped 500 lambs, and they arrived on the market at a time when low rates were ruling. So far he has had no. advice of what happened; to his. shipment, and he has decided to. let the matter rest at that. He says lie is afraid that if he makes any inquiry he may receive in reply a bill for expenses not covered by .the price realised.
