AUCTIONS. | H. MATSON AM> CO. H MATSON AND CO. REPORTON • ADDINGTON- ** "I*"- ' LOWS:-' . STORE SHEEP. ... . j Fully 12,000 sheep ear ~,,.,_ , this number being just double that offered st recent yardings. Looking back at our reports fox a period of years, this ia particularly a remarkable entry. The bulk ot tbo yarding comprised North Island ewes, and there were several consignments from Ncleon. Most of tho North IsW ewea were very uncertain in the moath, ana although they have been mated with Romney rams in practically every there is no outward aign of the majority of Urnm being in larob. The average price was .anything from Us 6d to His. Where would the North Island bo if it were not for Canterbury/ 1 This ia the question of the hour._ Consignmeats are still coming from tho North, and for the class of sheep that are coming to l.und, with a few exceptions, it is wonderful how they find buyers. The pens were filled almost to tho railway Hue, and there was a good majority disposed of by public auction. Hoggets were only in email numbers and it is impossible to quote a range ot prices, as those that were forward were pt no class and there tvero no outstanding lines o£ cither owe or wether hoggets, but the demand was good and the sales recorded were slightly in advance of previous markets. Yarded, but they were not attractive. What different brands that have been held locally for seme weeks did not meet with too bright a sale. Local ewes of all classes, it slewing in lamb and the class of rams used generally approved, sold better than nas been thd case this season. Several lines of halfbred ewes in lamb to Southdown rams in good condition, showing heavy in lamp, T.-ith few or no teeth, made from 20s to ?2b lOd, with one classic tine up to 2os M. The latter were exceptionally big in the frame, even and magnificent class. Crossbred and three-quarterbred en.es, showing in lamb, sold just as well as the halfbreda, »nd there was * good sound demand right throughout.the day for flio best classes o£ all descriptions. The following is the range of pnees:— NORTH ISLAND EWES, four, six, and eight-tooth, from 20s to 22s 6d; uncertain mouths, from 16s to 18s; low-conditioned, bad-appearanced lines, from 13* to 15s Cd. LOCAL EWES: Four, six, and eight-tooth, from 25s to 28a 6d; aged halfbred ewes, heavy in lamb, 20s to 22a, 10d; one line up to 33s Od.

The quality, although generally good, ih hardly up to the standard of the last two sales. Exporters were operating keenly on all stuff suitable for their requirements, and helped considerably .to keep the market up. The entry comprised several good lines of wethers and ewes from North Canterbury, and tho further south district* were not represented to the same extent as they have been lately. Thing* opened somewhat easier than last wepk.bht as the sale progressed prices gradually hardened, and although the sale was not finished until nearly dark, opinion, were quite Is to la 6d aiboy* opening rates. Great credit must again be given to the varioua ealerawn for getting the sale through eo expeditionary, 88 in previous years Taking.tho sale all round, it must be considered a real good one, and eohedute pncee for both weanera ana ewes- were, in our opinion, mere than fully maintained. ,The following are Borne of our best Bales:— MKMtfx MAI «a A.
