RABBITSKIN SALE.

Rabbitskin Report. —Messrs Dalgeby and Co. Ltd report-.—At our sale on Monday we again offered 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 settler’s point of view. Selected winter does were keenly competed for at np to 41 Jd per lb the highest price paid this season. Selected winter blacks also sold extremely well realising as high as 28d per lb while selected winter blacks and silk greys sold up to 41d.
