FAT SHEEP. There was a Urge yKrding, which comprisod a bigger proportion of wethers than has been the case recently. Tho yarding included sonio lines of really excellent quality. The sale, the same as laat week, commenced before the fat lamb sale had finished, and consequently the opening atages of the sale showed an casing tendency. This was more apparent in the lighter and unfinished lota, hut both good prim® wethers and ewes showed little difference, if anything, from last week. the aale certainly improved as it progreMßcl, wad in out opinion flinier in the closing stage# than in the firat alley or two. Exporters wero again operating freely for any medium or lighter stuff, and kept the market for that quality on a fairly level baeia. Wo should aay that tho sale generally spoaking was hajrdly up to last week's parity, and showed a decline of from par to Ift per head. FAT CATTLE. ■There was another big entry forward, comprising £SO head, a« against 598 laat week. 11. Matron and Qo,'t entry oonwiaed 150 head. Tha market opened sluggishly, and remained so until nearly the end of the sale, whero the >»t flteera wero penned. Evidcntly qnjjity was in demand, as etee* Bsef was keenly sought after. This gave a stiraulua to th® sale, and from then on prices were alightly better. Best steers, in our opinion, we?® about the same as laat week, but cows and unfinished cattle were much eaaiar. Plioea par 100 were-Steers 38s to 41b, heifers Ms to Ms, oews 25s to 355.
