The top prices were. 5 and 4-J guineas for McKerchan Bros*, and James King's breeding, down to ly guineas. The English breeders were also a high class and competition was spirited, the prices being from 2| to 5f guineas. Romneys had a poor inquiry at 2 to 21 guineas ; Shropshires up to 3 guineas. After the flock rams had been sold the demand slackened, and owners withdrew rather than accept the prices offering. __^
