WANGANUI RAM FAIR.
[FRSS9 ASSOCIATION TELSGRAH.]
WANGANUI, February 11. The second day of Messrs Freeman E. Jackson and Co. ; a ram fair was even more satisfactory than the first, the day's prices on the average being half to one-quarter higher. For the better classes the highest price was received by Air J. W. Baker, Fordell, who got 42gs for one ram from Mr Fred Sutton, Invercargill. Mr Baker's average for the two days for flocks was the highest at £8 5s 9d each. To-day 550 rams were offered singly in five hours, and 509 were sold. This is Mr Jackson's most rapid sale. On the second day buyers attended from all parts of the colony," and bidding was spirited to the end.
