Contrary to expectatibns the market showed no decline except in the case of breeding ewes, which seemed a little easier. Lambs were in good demand,, and competition continued brisk till the sale concluded. Fat ewes made from 27s 6d to 28s ; forward wethers 30s 3d to 6d. A good line of 2-toofh ewes reached 33s 6d, second quality sheep, same age, 28s to 30's; f.f.m. ewes 26s to 27s 3d ; f.m. ewes 22s Cd to 265; cull ewes from 14s.

Good rape lambs made to 20s ; store lambs, best, 15s 6d to 17s Id; woolly lambs 15s. to 17s; small lambs 10s 6d to 14s.
