PAT SHEEP. There was a yarding of ten races, compared to seven last week. A good deal of light and unfinished mutton was forward, but there was also a g'ood showing of prime quality. Butchers operated keenly for the better quality stuff, which sold at full recent market rates. One pen of nine owes, forwarded by Mr G. Thomson (Darfield), a particularly hoary lot, brought 61s. For medium owes and lighter sorts generally the market was lower than at preceding sales. Freezing buyers operated to a small extent. Towards the end of tho market, which was conducted in semi-darkness, a race of lata entries was sold, and there was a decided pruning in prices for all classes. The range of values was as under:— Extra prime wethers, 46s 6d to Ills. Prim 9 wethers, 38s 6d to 435. Medium wethers, 32s Od to 37s Bd. Lighter wethers, 80s Sd to 32s 3<i.
