A rather unusual occnrrenoe in the form of a mild strike took place during the fat lamb sale. The export “i s who were operating took exception to the presence of a huv.’r who. tlim apparently thought, was operating <m behalf oi one of the local agency firms, and they all c acated the pens until this buyer ceased bidding. Things wore at a deadlock for a little time until the buyer at last withdrew, as he did not wish to spoil the sale, which would have happened if he had continued, and busiT'css then went on in the normal manner.
