Tho entry wm some 360 head, the built of u-hich could not be classed as prim* '•"♦ tie, and many of them were showing dry, d, and plain. A fair portion of the entry was from outside centres, and some were staggy, rough, ana plain. Cowb of all dehcriptions came forward comprising chiefly light and inferior cows, with a few choice linos of cattle that might be quoted as well finished.

Tho »ntry was perhaps not so laige as (hat of the previous week, and the attendunco of the buying public was small. Better competition was ruling for most of ths lots that woro offered, although they enowed a lack of quality. There was nothing of outstanding quality yarded, and the following is the range of prices:— Throe-year-old steers from £i 6s to £5 10s,. lu-c-year-olds from £2 to £3 10s, and 18months old from £1 to £1 15s. _ Heifers—There was a email ontry of heifrrs; 18-months old heifers from 35s to £2 lOe, yearling heifers from £1 to £1 10s, good straight cows from 30s to £2 10s. Other port?" from 15s to 25a. Practically the whole •if the entry changed hands. There seems ro be a good enquiry for good two and three-year-old steers. DAIRY CATTLE. The entry comprised 77 head of cows, of winch, onr entry wa-s 40. The attendance was I small and the sale throughout must be quoted as dull although practically the whole of the entry changed hands at the recent ruling rate 3. We were eurprised at the number of very nice heifers just bordering on three-year-old that came forward, and which, could be purchased at most reasonable figures. Even allowing for the small return they will give this season, next year th«y should prove a valuable asset. _ The best quality springers of the ngnii aso sold from £7 10s to £lO, medium from M 10s to £6 10s, aged and inferior from Best springing neifers sold •*_ fo ??
