Hoggets—Out of 20 lots lo yu<> lion an idea will be gathered of the difficulty of buyers from the fact that only *ighfc lota were enough for a truck-load, the balance were small lots, tail-end*, and .nondescript sorts of various classes. Tiie demand was keen, southern buyers being prominent. "Wo maintain that where the main lots were submitted the prices were quite equal to those ruling, taking into consideration the fact that the class of hogget for>ard cannot be described as above medium.

"While some of these were "v«ry excellent sheep, a considerable number of the vendors represented are forwarding lighter weights and unfinished sheep. Most wore of the opinion that tho entry •was over 5000, but the agents having very little stock in over-night spread the sheep out among the peny, and a falso impression ■was gained. Buyers also were indifferent Jit certain stages of the sale, but came to realise towards tho end of the market that the yarding wan a small one, with the result; that tfiere was a firming tendency at •this stage a r »d prices exceeded those ruling last Wednesday. Right throughout the sale however, whfcre good heavy prime sheep were submitted of both sexes butchers were free ■ with their bids. The range of prices given below will show that the market was a good solid one, with the usual irregularities. The top price for wethers was for a consignment forwarded by Mr T. B.
