RABBIT SKIN SALE.

Dalgety and Co., Ltd., offered a good average catalogue before a full attendance of southern buyer.s, exporters, furriers, and the local' trade. Bidding was keen for all grades, but prices in sympathy with the southern market were from 3d to 6d per lb lower for autumn ami summer grades, and winter5 sorts were slightly better than last southern sale.
