Abraham and Williams, Ltd., report largo entries in all sections. The demand in the store sheep section was of a keen nature; reliable, owes r.w. S.D. rams remained firm at recent rates, whereas ewe and wether hoggets still advanced in value, this being particularly noticeable for any lines of owe hoggets submitted. Here we topped the market for a line of extra good ewe hoggets on account of Air J. Walkqr, of Colyton, the price realised being 28s 9d. Two-tooth wethers al*o met a more buoyant market than has been the case over the past- three or four weeks. Fat sheep: Values in this department showed very liltlo variation over the past few weeks, fat ewes of choice quality still being slow of calc, with very few wethors being penned. These were also difficult to quit at satisfactory prices to vendors. Cattle: A few pons of run cattle wero submitted and for these the demand wa3 sound, values showing no alteration on lust week’s rate*. Fat cattle of all classes sold freely with a marked rise in values in comparison with last week. Dairy cattle, both cows and heifers, unless close to profit and of good quality wore slow of sale. Boner cows of all grade* sold at values above recent rates.
