TAUMARUNUI EWE FAIR (Per Press Association.) TAUMARUNUI, last night. The Taumarunui annual ewe fair today brought forward close on 30,000 sheep, which for the last two days have been arriving in town from all parts of the district. The sheep grown in the King Country are hardy and do particularly well wh,en removed to the lower pastures, and this fact, no doubt, was responsible for the number of outside buyers being present. The sale was dull at the start, but livened somewhat later in the day. The best price for four-tooth ewes was 23s lOd; 4 and syr. ewes brought 20s 6d; 2-th ewes 22s 3d.
