WHERE PRICES ARE HIGH
A paragraph recently going tho rounds relating to the price of fat lambs at the Chicago market —from 50s to 80s a head—would doubtless make growers in the Dominion wish that some of these good things would come their way. But there is another side. An American stock paper tells us that in Pennsylvania there was an exceptional demand this fall for "first-class medium woolled native owes,’’ with prices for yearlings and two-year-olds averaging 14dols. a head. Older ewes with solid mouths found ready sale at 12d015., but at a public acution up to 17dols. had been bid. It is plain that with ewes ranging from 50s to near 80s lamb values have got to be high. Such prices inake it all the more surprising that there should be such an outcry against Now Zealand entering the States.
