RABBITSKIN SALE.

Rabbitskin Report.—Messrs Dalgety and Co. Lid report At our sale on Monday we again ollered a very large catalogue comprising all classes of skins. There was a full attendance of buyers, and competition was again very keen and prices were fully up to, and in the case of winters in excess of last weeks’ rates. All classes of skins were in good demand, and buyers were operating freely and prices obtained must be considered highly satisfactory from a settlor’s point of view. Selected winter dues were keenly competed for at up to 40fd per lb the highest price paid this season. Selected winter blacks aUo sold extremely well realising as high as •JBd per lb while selected winter blacks and silk greys sold up to 41d.
