REPOET the entry this section comprised SoCO head The catalo-ue was a very mixed one, not on .V a regards a large portion of the caUloue being shorn sheep and the balance woollies, but in the quality of both Man, ''"hi and pl&in sheep were included under heading and tho percentage of fat ££ that were tallow fat was repoaaiUe inr backward competition. Values vera easier, and more irreg-ular than wa* tha case at tho sale prior to Carnival Wcc , but dealing with the market as a whole •„ estimate the basis of prices to be as "'wethers in tho wool, 4jd to old overall. Kwes, in the wool, 3£d to 4Jd overall. Shorn wethers, 4d to 4Jd overall. Shorn ewes, 3d to overall. When our representative leit the market, Trhich was just about 4 p.m., values were a Ls maintained on this basis, and ccmnetiixon appeared to he forthcoming i * "'rory lot.

H. MATSON and CO. report the entry in this section comprised 680 head, ot which H. JIATSON and CO.'s catalogue was 195. The number yarded m< responsible for lower rates being in eviUence, and it enabled the tradesman to pick and - choose in their purchases. The result was sales were irregular and. light or plain lots suffered the most. Heviewins the market as a whole, we are 01 opinion* the values eased from the previous sale to the extent ol 3s to 3s 6d per head. The quality generally wa» good, but many a £ the Bales effected were disappointing to th H. Ve MATSON" and CO. quote the following "prices:—E*tra prime lambs up to 31s 10s, good lambs 22s ed to 255, medium lambs 19s Od to 225, light or plain IBs to 18s. H. MATSON and 00. quote thei following principal sales: —On behalf of Mr H. G. But-r-her (Broadfleld), lambs to 23s 7d; Mr K.. T. Crawford (Yaldhurst). lambs to 22s 10d, Messrs Buckenham Bros.

MATSON and CO. report the total entry in this section was 495, of which H. Matssa and Co.'s quota was 100 head. The yardintr was not a big one considering there has been.no sale for a fortnight, but nevertheless, with the heavy entries of fat sheep and lambs the quantity seemed to be to ° large for the butchers' requirements. Consequently, all cattle showed a drop in price. The larger part of the entry was made up of atser beef, and with the hot weather now existant the demand for this was not anything like as keen as it has been of late. Lighter weight cattle sold readily, especially very light heifers and nicely finished cows. The drop recorded was easily 4s per- 1001b on all heavy-weight cattle, but was not n^?* e than 2s to 3s per 1001b on lighter sorts. The quality of the yarding was splendid. . H. MATSON and CO. quote the following prices per 1001b—Extra heavy steers 35s to 395, handy weights 43s to 455, prime 38s to •tls best heifers 465, prime 36s to 40s, medium 38b to 355, best cows to 40s, prime 83b to 30s, others down to 275. H. MATSON and CO. quote the followprices per head -Steers: Extra heavy JS2I 12s 6d, prime £l6 to £l7 10s, medium .£l3 10s to £ls 10s, light £l2 to £l3 ss.

DAIRY KEPORT. H. MATSON and CO. report the total ontry in this-section was 63 cows, of which H MATSON and CO. Bold 85 head. There was a Black demand, but this can mainly be put down to the fact that the consignments forward were backward and unattractivo. Cows in low condition were hard to sell." However, where a first-class article was off ©rod, competition was keen. . H MATSON and CO. quote the following >nn"'e of values: —Good second and third caivera £S to .£lO 10s. Medium and low condition £5 to £7, inferior £3 10s to £4, good heifers springing £8 to £lO 15s, medium £6 to £8 10s, inferior £4 to £5 10s. Cows in profit, according to condition, sold fTATii £2 10b to £o 10b. FOR BEST RESULTS CONSIGN YOUR STOCK TO H. MATSON and CO., VDDINGTON. CALVES. H. MATSON and CO. report in this section tlie yarding comprised over 300 head, of which H. MATSON tipd CO.'a catalogue was 153. Owing to tho lower values in evidence in the fat lamb section, the trade in, this department reduced their limits, and only made their purchases on a lower level as compared with the previous market prior to Carnival Week. In some grades very low prices were in evidence. This weakening, together with tho heavy offering, was responsible for a dull sale, and any unfinished or plain calves were hard to quit. H. MATSON and CO. quote tho following range of values:—Best calves £2 to £2 ss, good calves £1 10s to £1 17s Cd, medium calves £1 to £1 Bs, small calves 12s to 18s, best runners £4 2s 6d to £6 ss, good runners £3 2s 6d to £4, medium runners £2 10s to £3.

The majority of the entry was made up of yearlings and twelve months old cattle of indifferent breeding. The demand was keen for all classes, especially well-bred sorts of both sexes, although no quotable lines were forward, although rather a nice pen of two-year-o'd steers made £5 6s. Other sales were on a par with last sale. FOT* BEST RESULTS CONSIGN YOUR CATTLE TO H. MATSON and CO., ADDINGTON. FAT PIGS. H.
