"We extract as follows from Messrs Driver, Maclean and Co.'s report : — "FAT STOCK. — The maiket bas been fairly supplied with beef without any chaugo in piice, say 47s to 50s per lOOlbs f or best quality.

Stoke Sheep. — We make the following quotations for delivery after sheai ing, based upon tiansaetions abeady made, and our anticipations as expressed above, say : — Lambs, mixed sexes, 20s per pair ; owes, 2-tootb, 16s to 17s; do, 2, 4, and G-tooth, 15s to 16a; do full mouth, lls to 12s ; wethers, 4-tooth to full mouth, 12s to 12s Gd. The pl.ice of dehveiy, quality, and condition of stock at all times tend to vary quoted prices. Store Cattle in good demand.

WooL. — The wool season may now be said to have fairly set in. Shearing, which has been begun some weeks, in the eaily districts, will be general by the fiist of next month. Several paieols of the new clip have already reached our stores, and we have advices of several other lots. First portions of some largo clips have which havo not hitherto been offeied in the market, being on the way to town. The largo storage capacity we have prepaied for this season's business lias enabled us to offer to the woolgiower many advantages which we have noticed at length in our wool letter of the lObh inst. Already our effoits aio being reciprocated and we have every leason to believe that woolgioweis begin to see it is their interest to offer their clips heie, where they can place a re&eive upon them, instead of shipping to a distant market, where such, as a. rule, is considered impi acticable. We have already many inquiries for tho new clip, and .is several new buyt-is will be in tho maiket, wo anticipate a brisk demand at our opening sales, which we puipose holding eaily in December.
