NOLAN, TONKS, AND CO.'S SHEEP FAIR.

The several lines were very meritorious.

Among prices realised were the following :— Shorn lambs, 4s to ss ; woolly lambs, 48 6d to 5s 6d; extra good, line of lambs, 6s to 7s; two tooth ewes, 9a 3d to 10s ; four tooth ewes, 10$ to 10s 6d ; six and eight tooth ewes. 7s 9d to 88 6d ; f.f.m. ewes, 69 to 7s 6d ; fat and forward ewes, 83 to 83 9d ; two tooth wethers, 9a to 9s 3d; two and four tooth forward wethers, 9s lOd.
