Fat Sheep. — 2155 penned. Sheep suitable for export were in good demand, and realised fair values cons'-lc-ring the present state of the London market, and so did any other pens of really prime sheep, whether crocsbred ewes or merino wethers. .Half aud three parts fat, sheep on the other hand were difficult to place, and had it not been that one or two graziers from the Taieri wore operating ifc would have .been almost impossible to sell them.
