We are pleased to recognise that rabbiters are turning their attention to skinning and sending the skins to market in preference to selling the labhits with the skins on. Our returns are now so widely known through the country that Tabhiters recognise the fact that in most instances we have paid equal to 7Jd per pair, and in a good many instances fully 8d per pair. We guarantee the following prices, with woolpaoks and bags supplied free of all charges: — Autumns and incoming full-grown-greys, Is 6d per lb; medium and half-grown greys, lOd to 12d per lb ; suckers, 4d to 6d per , lb; incoming blacks, full-grown, Is 6d to Is 8d per lb ; incoming silver greys, 2s per lb ; incoming fawns, full-grown, Is pei lb; incoming medium, lOd- per lb.
