The fat sheep market opened at about the prevlou., cok's prices but soon eased off and became , .-regular, and towards the end a number of lots wore passed in Prices wore down from Is to 2s per head and In some cases more. There was a poor sale for store cattle, and dealers camo down In consequence of a heavy supply, and the cheaper be«f i market Pat pigs sold well, but stores were slow of sale. / Store sheep: Two-tooth, ewes 20s 3d to 23s 9d medium 4 and 6-tooth ewes 10s 3d to 17s 3d 9* to 18s 3d, 2-tooth wethers 19s to 245, 2 and 4-topth wethers 20s to 23s Id, good 4 and.Otooth wethers 22s 3d to 235, medium Us 3d to 19s m.xcd-sex lambs 10s to 14s 2d, ewe lambs 1?. 1.1 1 **' K „°, 0(1 nalforei i wether lambs 17s Id, others 6s 2d to 13s 6d 111 6d to oß 23 3 s d '( i d n,edlUra 24S '° 263 M > il * bU » Fat sheep: Prime wethers 32s Cd to 39s fid wf m *?'?«." 2S .
