There was a fair entry, and a large attendance of farmers and others, but owing to the boisterous Weather stock did not present a bright appearance. The Sale Was an unsatisfactory one. Stud Border Leicester rams ranged from two guineas to Ave guineas, and flock ditto from three-quarters to three guineas. Owing to the small demand the few Romney Marsh, Southdowna, and Shropshires offered, were not sold. A Border Leicester, from A. Cross, Scotland, brought 10 guineas, and another 4 guineas A two-tooth Shropshire ram, from Meulove, brought 2$ guineas. SYDNEY WOOL SALES.
