Tho 4ttatitr and clans of limbs to hand left a tot to bo deslrad, aad wan not ucarly bo good m tho so wo have had forward on previous ••cessions. Moat of tbe lambs ore cumins mm further baek la the hills and their •:onditioi) and »iaa aro anything but satisfactory. However, this had the offoct of strtnctliettltlg eomiiotitioli for the choicer lali that *«re sprinkled throughout tho yard, th# result that despite tho reduction in tHft fat prices, good sales wero recorded for all beat lota, and ■while thero was a drop of If oa beat lambs, othpr classes suffered at least to the extent of is Cd a head. It is eurptiftlilg tho purchasers who coma forward wltk it limit of about 7s arid regardless ct gizs th«y purchase, hence the said is most ofiratic, but nevertheless a good clearance "wis made and practically all lots -were sold »i auction. Tho arencral feeling of tho buyera to-day was one Of doubt aa regards tho present schedule prices, and this had a sttadjrlng effect right throughout, and toward® tho finish. wncra there were many inferior lambs effered. tho audience dwindled ;iway to a few. Best forward rape lambs mado from 10# to Us Od, medium lambs from 3s to 9a 3d, stubble lambs from Gs to "* 9d, and cull# from 4s (id to 5s od. ADULT BIttCEP—I33O ewes and 1550 •ret'aera ward offered In this section to a good :ittecdance of buyers. Soles wero hard to rt*ke, nevertheless it is noticeable that pructiOally every pen of sheep find* a buyer by unction. All clSdsfls aro keenly irispcctcd odd mouthed, and with tha abundance of feed in tH« Country it looks as though thoro is little possibility of a yrtrding of to-day's *>ia suffering to any particular extent. Tho class of wether forward to-day was much batter. There was domo very oxcellent halfbrcd two-tooth weihcrs, and also a fjileiJdid Una Of four and six-tooth Chatham Islands wethers, and four and six-tooth withers war# also available off stations that hare a high reputation for producing sheep •wrltJn the ability to fatten.

In addition fa West Coast consignments there were largo lines of lambs straight off tussook c» an try notlceablo among tbe pennings. The nflliu* faces Of vendors so prevalent last wwfaosday war# conspicuous to-day by their alMfte*. Tho reduction In the schedule nrlecs, which siHontns to id per lb on IMty-weigfeM, had the <rffect of lower prices alt round. Hear/ butchers' lambs suffered ji*at<tr naturally, and In our opinion the a mage falling off in prices for this class was Is 6d ft head. Most other lots suffered to the extent of Is a head. Export buyer* bid freely for all medium and lightweights, and tho following is the range of |M ruling to-day:— Dttr* heavy-weight lambs to 17s Id, prime httry from 14s to 10s, medium lis Od to 18* Sd, light 9a Od to lis.

Although wethers ware ■iunrt, ewea being again In the majority, in mt opinion there were aome quite good heavy nftaep available— la fact, all that was ireIttlwd by bnyera.

Generally speaking, tha «w»Il lalUnc off in prices amounted ie 3s per head, and In some cases'oven us much as la Od. Wethers, however, did not safer to any apparent extant, that la wherein ch»le« lota were offered. The top price at tha time ol writing for wethero was IBs lOd, and for ewea 12» 4d.

' The quality was a little uio*b saixed than Wednesday last, but practically the whole yardlQg waa suitable for hatchers' requirement's. Canterbury was responsible for tbe majority of the consignmaata on offer, and a small consignment from ttegtUntf mas* up th® balance of the yardiof. Competition for the early stages was lumw. and, if anything, a slight rise was in evideaee. Later on ip the day, howevsr, n* butchers obtained their supplies, most «al«» were hard to make, and taking the catry goaerally, the prices quoted are approximately the- sauiy as those ruling last ' 11.

MATSON and 00. report that calves were less numerous to-day, the .wholo yardijKjf comprising only 109 head. This was the NMifclleat entry for many months. Possibly the lower values that havo been ruling of !«te have bad a discouraging effect on vendors 10 tho eiteflt that they evidently prefer to bold off In the meantime. Values consequently show an depreciable rise on lute ratt'a, and although the quality left » lot i* be desired, every thins waa cleared at n mora satisfactory Slgurc.
