TINWALD STOCK SALE.

A VERY LARGE YARDING.

EWES RISE FULLY Is PER'HEAD. There were very large yardings of both sheep and cattle at the Tinwald stock sale to-day. The entry of fat > sheep consisted of from 500 to 600-' butchers’ ewes and from 1400 to 1500"' lambs. In the store section were about 3000 ewes and lambs. The largeness-' of the yardings, may be accounted for to a great extent by the fact of this . s.ilc’s being the first since the strike ceased. Consequently, much stock which that disturbance held up came forward to-day. 'here was an appreciable rise of hM is per head in fat ewes and lambs.- Much good fat stuff was offered, for which there was keen competition. The following sales had been made by noon:---' i ' r Fat Ewes.—s 7at 19s 2d,C IO at 22. s i id, 12 at 235, 12 at 25s sd, 26 at 22slid 18 at 19s 3d, 12 at 21s '9d, 11 at 22s’3d, 17 at 21s 10dj -16 at?'24s did,.
