FAT SHEEP SHORTAGE
(81 IBLBBRAPB.—FKESS ASSOCIATION.)
CHRISTCHURCH, 17th July. The short supplies of. fat. sheep, coming forward, and the high prices ruling, will probably result in the butchers applying to the Board of Trade for permission to.obtain mutton from the freezing Works. At- Addirigton to-day no lino of fat sheep realised less than £2 per head, the top price being £3. There is a likelihood of the market being almost bare for some time, owing to a great part of the country being" still snowbound.
