A big proportion were ewes of from medium to fair quality, and a few were extra good. The supply of prime wethers was comparatively small.

Exporters were, at times, taking light weight sheep, but the market cased further towards the end of the sale. Extra prime wethers made from 40s 3d to 43a; prime heavies from 36s to 395; light from 21s to 30s; prime ewes sold at from 27s to 28s 6d; mediums from 14s 6d to 20s.
