RABBITSKIN MARKET.

GOOD AMERICAN DEMAND.

The Dunedin Stock Agents' and Woolbrokers' Association reports:—

Large catalogues were again offered at Tuesday's sale, although the total offering would be slightly less than last sale. With the mild weather experienced during the last month skins are rapidly going off in quality, and the offering contained a big proportion of outgoing sorts.
