KIRWEE. The Kirwee sale was held on Thursday, owing to the usual day falling on Good Friday ; an entry of i ,200 coming forward, 2,200 being fats, about half of which were lambs; wethers and ewes in about equal proportion, making up tho balance. Tho greater portion of the lambs were on the light side, only a few linos being well finished, graziers socuring several lota for finishing off. In the store pens tho yarding consisted chiefly of dealers' travelled sheep, ewes being most in evidence, over 3000 being penned, the balance consisting of lambs and wethers in about equal numbers.
