SUPPLEMENTARY EWE FAIR.

RATES FOR OLDER SHEEP STEADY.

VALUES FOR 2-THS. DECLINE

Entries for the supplementary ewe fair at Feilding yesterday came forward up to advertised numbers with a large attendance of buyers. With the tops of the two-tooths out of the way, breeders found the market easier albeit the competition was keen. The top price was 38s 7d. For the aged breeding ewes the general tone was quite firm for sheep with sound mouths and values showed little variation on the rates that obtained a week ago. Good 4-yr. ewes made to 29s 4d, while 4 and 5-yr. lots made to 25s fid. The market for store lambs was firm and good sales resulted. A small offering of fat sheep commanded late rates, while fat cattle sold at current quotations. There was no variation in late quotations for dairy and store cattle.
