(ST OCR COMUERC'AI. KD'TOR.) There were again large entries of stock in the sheep sections, and good yardings in other departments. There j was an average attendance. Fat cat- I tl© Gold at about last week's rates, store i sheep were in strong demand, and fat \ i lambs were easier,by about Is per bend. | The fat cheep market opened very firm , and afterwards cased off to Inst week's ; prices which were maintained to the j close. There was not much demand for store or dairy cattle bnt pigs sold j well. j STORE SHEEP. The entry of store sheep, as might naturally have been expected at this season of the year, showed a marked falling off, and the sale was concluded, shortly after, noon. Th© yarding was

lot the ordinary class, and eoniainrd 'nothing bpt-cial. Tiiere was a fair attendance and a brisk sale, everything Wing cleared at nines which still showed an upward tendency, the firm!- ---! nevi in the inarkot- 'ifing especially j noticeable in the case of good young . ewes and wethers.

FAT LAMBS

The entry of fat lambs was n' ( large ' one, totalling 1)3-39, but while thcw was a fair proportion of prime sorts there was .1 large percentage of Hgl'-t and unfinished lambs. This indicates j that tho fattening season is no»v drawing to a close, and the- cntn«:s from now onwards will perceptibly en so oif. The competition lacked the briskness that lias characterised Into sales, ami prices were easier by fully Is per head as compared with last week.
