HIGH PRICES AT FEILDING EWE FAIR

Vendors Experience Bright Market STRONG TONE TOR TWO-TOOTH EWES Expectations in the matter of high values were fully realised at the Feilding ewe fair yesterday when an offering of over 30,000 sheep came forward' to experience a particularly bright sale. The easing wool market did not have the slightest effect on the operations, 1 which w'ere most buoyant throughout, j Particularly was this the case in the two-tooth section, where the tone was very strong for the best quality lines.; The top price in this section for the’ sale was 71s, paid for a line of 20 very attractive sheep offered on account of J. Corpe, the Feilding breeder. This 1 price was 8s ahead of last year’s best price of 635, which was paid for the offering of Mr. J. D. Hocking, of Kiwitea. Yesterday Mr. llocking sold his offering of 40 well-bred ewes for 50s. There were many sales at 40s and over and the sale for two-tooths was quite the best experienced at Feilding for some considerable time. Operations in the aged ewe sections were quite as bright and values throughout were fully firm and above current quotations for the best lines. Straight lines of guaranteed 4-yr ewes made up to 32s 3d, this price being obtained by Mrs. D’Ath for an offering of 270. An offering of 140 well-bred 4-th ewes on account of the Hannah' estate realised 34s Id, and good 6-th J ewes on account of D. Kilgour, junr., I made 34s 3d.
