Messrs Murray Roberts and C 0.,, Ltd., Wellington, report under date June 26, as follows: “A medium selection of sheepskins U'as offered to a large bench of buyers at our fortnightly sale held today. Good tkiirs, with sound pelts and free from seed improved in most instances to the extent of id., but this rise was not, noted in the shabby sorts, which cased a shade. Calfskins met with hotter competition, and a slight improvement was made in most 'sorts. Tins improvement was also reflected in the lighter yearlings. Ox hides for the most part were very firm, with light w'cights in sellers’ favour. The advance shown in eow hides at our 1 last fixture was not maintained and they sold at prices equivalent to rates, rulling a month ago. STOCK AND SHARE MARKET (Press Association). AUCKLAND, July 1.
