RAM AND EWE FAIR.

Mr David Thomas reports on the ram and ewe fair as follows :— On Thursday. March 24, the annual ram and ewe fair took place ab the Tinwald yards. The attendance of farmers, dealers, and outside buyers was good, bub owing to the contfuuoua dry weather, intending buyers were not keen on operating; there* fore tho bulk of the entry had to be passed at auction, though a fair clearance was effected pnvate'y. The entry of ewes was far below that of last year. Kama were p entifu', but there was no competition j therefore a large number were turned out unsold. The total entry forthiday com prised 7310 sheep and 979 ramp, of which my entry oouoisted of 4562 sheep and 360 ram?, which I sold at ihe following prices : — Ewes— 2l9 four-toolh ewes 6< lOd, ICO merino ewes 2a 3d. 103 crossbred ewes 3< lid, 51 at Is 4 I, l£o at 4a 4 ', 281 at 4s, 595 halfbred ewe 3 4 , 316 merir,o ew. s 2s 8 i, 400 fix and eight tor-lh ewes 5-», 331 two tooth ew<-s 5t 4-.i, 150 ciosslred <wea3*6 5, 435 meiico owts 3s 91 Rams— English Leicester rams, 5 two tooih £1 Is, 5 ft l^a, 4 at l£g, lat 2|gs, lat 2ig?, lat 2 s. 16 at 1£ ? , 10 rams 15s. 1 at 10s 6d, 2at 10 6.1, 17 iwo-tnoih rams 2gs, 15 at I*%, 4 at Jg ; Lii co,'r>, 1?
