The ram sale was continued yesterday, the attendance being pood. The sale began with the ,';i' flock- ewe?. None of the Lincoln ewes were sold, 'V' Giodgli there was a very small difference between .| "' teller and buyer. Part of * large draft of South~i downs -old a: -Igns to 6gn«, and a line of Shrop-'j ' X«„'' »Wre ewe lambs at lign#., 'In .the, stud ewe .set■r Mioii 'a line of very pretty shearling ewe's, tin- I ported by Messrs. i\ Hoolt and Sons from the iluke of Richmond's famous Goodwood flock, sold aS'UOgnt each. There was fair competition for the wSSJr- best stud rams, but for those of little better than $S flo'-fc quality there was no: much demand, and toV wards the close of the sale" it was difficult to r.bta : n ,i' bids for anything. In Shropshire's the highest jpl prices were:—4ogns for a shearling (first prize in ,the .show), 2fjgns for the first prize two-tooth, and •' 15gns each for three shearlings. Some deW^, v ' cided bargains were given away towards the end %-l- of the catalogue, including fire picked shearlings glißigi oy Coronation (champion) at 3Jgn«, the flock" jppsf ■ quality of which line sold up to Tens. The prekjt'i- vious day competition for first-class English Lei•tj. , cester? was well maintained all along the catalogue, of which a fair proportion' found bnyers at satisfactory prices; 4Ugns, Signs, Signs, and lower prices' down to ISgns were obtained for shearlings and 33gns for a three-shear sheep. There were §EtfSij|'- very few sheep of high quality amongst the Border p|% Leicester, but these were keenly competed for. The top price was 31gns for a shearling, which was placed second in his class at the show. A gpjiS few really good Lincoln' from Southland sold at what.-'must be considered fair prices in these times, o^os: making tip to 20gns. The only Southdown which ■*as sold was a very nice two-shear by a Colman IJltfsrsm • from a Goodwood ewe. Messrs. Ho'ilt and j- Sons offered the rams recently bought in England - by. Mr. Thomas Hoult, but the unfortunate animals had been nearly killed by the dipping in quaran- }■ tine, and were not in a condition to be offered for y\»~ sale. Most, of the breeders of Corriedales are "1 ' in the position of having sold all their rams for the season, and the entry of these popular sheep prSlli§£*»» consequently small. Ten guineas each were obtained for a shearling and a two-?h»ar. J; a SALE OP CANTERBURY LAND. BV TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.] ABHBCRTOS, Saturday.
