RABBITSKIN SALE

PRICES IN DUNEDIN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, September 13. At today’s rabbitskin sale medium catalogues were offered and, as was to be expected after the uncertainty of the international situation during the weekend, the market was erratic, and taken all over showed little change on last sale. In some cases low quality lots were Id to 2d dearer, while first and second winter bucks and does brought 2d more than at last sale. The quantities of these good grades are, of course, declining rapidly now.
