I'AT SHEEP. 11. MATSON and CO. report there was a total entry of 5300 in this section. Ihe yarding comprised far more wethers than the previous "week's entry. Reviewing ilio market as a whole the quality could be considered only fair, with odd consignments ot -pod primo quality sheep of both sexes. In -ha wether section it was very noticeable the quantity of aged sheep, and whenever any lots of younger sorts were offered competition was much keener. The market opened out rather easier than the previous week s rates, and showed a further decli-ie as the sale advanced; more especially in the case- of wethers, and in our opinion wethers were hack Is per head, with the ewe market irregular, bidding being very restricted in the closing stages. Schedule of values were as follows:—Shorn Wethers: Heavy prime wethers to 35s 7tl. prime wethers 12b 64 to 13* Cd, medium 10s Cd to 12s, light from 9s 6d.

MATSON and CO. report:—There was .1 total entry in this section of 2500 head. In spite of the large yarding of last week, vendors sent their consignments forward freely again, which indicates that although lambs sold at a lower basis than the present market, vendors have recognised it a wise policy to market their lots in the metropolitan market, where they have the competition of butchers, freezing buyers, and speculators. thereby maintaining an equitable basis of prices in their own home oysTket. The quality again was good, many choice and prime consignments being penned, and practically all classes' met with good competition In our npiniop the market was quito a good <me at prices showing an advance of 1s to Is Cd per head nn last week's rates. Freezing buyers towards tho npenin? stages found prices were out of their reach, apparently their limits being too restricted. As tho sale was well advanced competition was in evidence from tlio Itbove buyers, which kept prices we't >:n and ahove schedule rates. JT.
