PRICE OF SHEEP.
ADVANCE IN HAWKE’S BAY. The Dannevirke News says: Farm: ers with lambs, still to sell, or indeed any fat mutton, have cause to rejoice in the fact, for prices yesterday received another upward lift, and 7jd is now being offered for firstgrade ilambs, > while wethers are in great demand at 4i}d and fat ewes are fetching 3d. At yesterday’s Onga Onga sate wethers were keenly competed for, and a line ; of 400 good heavyweights from Ashcott, sold on account of Mr .T. B. A’Deane, made 25/ in thje yards. There is a big shortage of sheep in Hawke’s Bay, probably elsewhere also, partly owing to the fact that during the war farmers succumbed to the temptation of high prices and pursued the suicidal policy of selling off hundreds of ewe lambs, while for the past season the financial pressure of recurring demands for interest has been responsible for the slaughter of much female stocK.
