Ovtr competition will soon resolve itself iDto the survival of the fittest Rabl'iting is much changed ; piic.C3 of skina won't run big wag^s. Late wastes : Couple?, £60 to £^ ; ploughmen, 15a to 17s 6d ; shepherd*, £50 and £52 ; grooms, 12s and JBs ; CDoks £03 ; milkers (boys and lads), 8s to 12s 6d ; rabbiters, all prices!
