Prices for stove sheep were very high with rounds of strong bidding seen Tuesday after a brief lull. Bullocks and cows showed improvement with medium to heavy weights fetching higher bids, while 40 additional sheep lots appeared after the main sale. Prices quoted per 100 heads ranged with cattle at 17 to 21 pounds and strong sheep values continuing into the week.
A brisk cattle market report notes good quality weighty bullocks selling at around £28 per head. The brief item records rising demand and steady bidding among buyers. No further details of sellers or buyers are provided.
Dalgety and Co Tid report a sale of 1 947 ewes on account of a small attendance, noting the smaller number of bidders. Prices were strong for the category, with two and four shillings per head quoted for good skins and strong condition sheep.
A distorted fragment discusses a global passport system proposed under League of Nations oversight. It suggests wartime governance by a universal document and questions the duration after peace is signed, with implied control over movement and identity.
A garbled OCR fragment discusses pestilence, ceremonial manners, and opinions on public fees. Mentions paying a fee, lawyering, and the public choosing whether to bear additional charges, with uncertain references to a town and fees. The text is unclear and contains many missing words and corrupted phrases.
