FAT CATTLE. Another very heavy yarding, comprising 525 head, oompsired with 480 last week. Apart from' a few trucks of West Coaet cattle, the entry was Canterbury gTOwn. The quality generally waa not up to tho previous week's standard, there being a larger proportion of cows of medium and inferior quality. Tho aalo waa slacker from the outset for all classes, and sales of inferior aorta were hard to make. Towarda the close of the market passings of the lower grades frequent. The entry was much ahead of weekly needs. Purchasing power waa also reduced by prrvato buying of eeverai butchers of aorfli.,

Island cattle-. On an average the droj> on i&3£ week's rates wis from 203 to 35s per head. A ie'.v pens of good beef at the start made tip to 3 (is per lOC-lb, but the average for prime Vi'jj from 300 to 32s Gd, medium 27s to 223 €d, light 23s to 26s Gd, and rougher sorts from 2-is down to 12s 6d.
