STOCK AND STATION RFPORT. Fat Cattle.—There waa a smaller entry for this day’s market at Burnside, 221 head being yarded, a large proportion of which were good to prime quality, but, owing to the trade being pretty fully supplied f«m last week’s heavy supply, the detnmd was not very keen, and consequently there waa no improvement in prices. Best bullocks brought L 7 15a to L 8; medium to good, 1.6 to L 7 12a Gd ; ordinary ami light weights, L4sato Lo 15a; best cows, 15 7s Cl to 1,7; heifers and im-dium quality, L2 10a to L 5 sa. We sold on account of Mr William Shand {Keith Halil and others bullocks from L 5 12a 6d to L 7 15r, and cows to LI 17s Cd.

Fat Sheep.—2,sGs were penned, all crossbreds, the larger portion of which were ewes, inferior to medium, and good uac-ful mutton. All the wethers penned fit for export wore well competed for, and realised prices quite up to late rates. Competition at the commencement of the sales lacked spirit, but improved further on, ordinary quality ewes aud wethers fetching slightly better piicea. Boat cross-bred wethers brought 12a 9d to 14a ; two other pens, extra good, 14a 91; and a small pen of feven, heavy weights, Ida ; ordinary, 10a Gd to 12a Cd ; brst do ewe.;, 10a 9d to 13a 3d ; inferior to medium, Sa to 10j Gd. We sold on account of Mr John Henderson (Ballyoudale) cross-bred ewea to 8a 9d ; Mr William Riddell do to 11s 9d.

Fat Lamba. —1,417 were penned representing all qualities. This number largely exceeded icqu reraents, and while a fair demand existed at the commencement as the sales progressed competition became weak, resulting in sales bemg diffi :ult to effect at much lower prices. Best brought 7s Gd to 10a 3d ; extra good, 11s 9d ; others, 5a Gd to 7s 3d. Wo sold o;.e pen at 7s 9d. 1 igs.—There were only SO penned, but there was no improvement from list week. Suckers brought 9< to lls; porkers, 21a 6J to 28a; baconers, 34 a to 40a Store Cattle. —There is a moderately fair d-mand for well-gr wn bullocks in forward condition, and some business passing, but prices are now more in favor of buyers.
