TINWALD STOCK MARKET.

PRICES VARY TO SMALL EXTENT.

VERY GOOD ENTRY TO-DAY. The improved quality of the fat sheep was an outstanding feature at the fortnightly market at Tinwald today. In this respect the entry was one of the best seen at the yards for some time. Competition was confined chiefly to local butchers, and as the entry* was more than necessary for their requirements, there was practically no change in prices, although the average rates were higher than those recorded at Ashburton last week. Extra prime young ewes made up to 27s 10a, which was realised by Mr .1. Davidson, Maronan, for a pen of five, while J. W. Withell, Ealing, sold five at 27s 4d, and W. E. Horrell, Lagmhor, five at 26s 4d.

The estate of V. W. Wright (Lagmhor), topped the fat wether section with four at 31s lOd, the next best price, 31s 4d, going to W. Henderson (Windermere). One shorn ewe sold on account client brought 15s 7d, and four shorn wethers 18s Id. A lot of 20 shorn fat wethers was passed at 20s. There was a fair attendance of fanners.
