FEILDING RAM FAIR.

- Unite r Auspices of Feilding A. & P. Association. There was a large attendance of buyers at the Feilding Ham Fair yesterday, and despite the fact that the sale was helcj rather early in the season, good business was done. There was no demand for Border Leicester?, but other sorts sold wall, especially Lincolns, which appeared more in favour. It was said more sales would have been effected if some buyers 4 had-not been under the impression that reserves would bo lower at subsequent sales.
