persons attended at the sale-rooms in Adeßite:
attracted chiefly by the announcement that the birds, 7•:s.
brought out in the Orient would be submitted to rib ;11
competition. They fetched in many instances very ;
prices. An English sparrow without his sage fetched .-;

survivor of 100 shipped by the importer, it will be r3t'-of
dear to the buyer than profitable to the seller. A couple
blackbirds sold for 685., a goldfinch canary for 355., „161,
other birds fetched high prices. Swan River parrots 0.h""
for 30s. each. The auctioneer dwelt facetiously ttl9o° 7:
