Fat.sheep.—The entey was of moiieralte dimensions, and competition ' ' being active an advance of previous * ''' rates was realised, wethers of freezweights making as much as 4 s<l per TV lb over all, and ewes from H}d to til. At tliese rates exporters were ' - able to operate and practically the whole entiy was taken by the butchers. Trices were as follows: P.
