CANTERBURY RAM FAIR.
Christchurch. March 20.—The annual Canterbury Ham Fair was held to-day, and was very successful. In consequence of the dryness of the season, the prices realised were not up to the usual standard, but a large proportion of rams were sold at good average prices. Best quality Lincoln rani3 sold at 11 to 50 guineas ; English Leicesters, from 3to Bguineas. A large number of Border Leicester rams found considerable favour with buyers, some of them fetching up to 15 guineas each, 5 guineas being the general figure. Merino rams sold at a disadvantage. buyers of that class of stock being absent. The sale of ewe 3 was very limited.
