Fat Cattlk.—About an average entry, quality varied, in a few cases prime, but on the whole hardly up to the usual level. The demand was sluggish, and a farther drop on late values is to be recorded.

Store Cattle—A moderate entry, principally odd lota. The demand was fairly active, more particularly for young stock, well grown forward conditioned cattle being hard to quit. Values remain much the same as before.

Fat Sheep—-Another very large entry yarded, the quality being:, as usual, very varied, with, however, a good proportion of prime quality.
