As soni 01 the larger butchers had been supplied from privat deliveries, the bidding- was not so spirited as nii'h have been anticipated, and late rates were scarcer maintained. \Ye do not feel, however, justified ii quoting the price of really prime beef at under 30 per lOUlbs We may remark good quality beei is les p.entiful than has been the case in corrwpuudim periods of previous years, and that before thu summc gr.iss lias an .• effect upon the condition of cattle biirhci prices will rule than have been the case for many year past. Best bullocks realised £9 10s to £12 10s nied mm do, £0 10* to £9 ; best cows ac from £7 to £10 10: medium £5 to £7. Medium to fair quality beef ma, be quoted at 2as to 27s (id per lOOlbs. At the yards we sold on account of Messrs Brown and others' 30 head at quotations, and have placed 70 head pnvately v _ v,i"'» «3"T Onlj" a Very felv were Ponied, which brought full rates—say up to 60s each. Fat Sheep.-2000 of various sorts were penned a «Inch brought fully our late quotations. Prime crossbreds brought from 14s to 17s each, according to weight; merinos 7s 61 to 10s ;or equal t« 3?U to 4d for the former, and 3d to 3}d for the latter.

We "have howeverooo upon the road from the south, which will shortly be offered by public aucti m, in lots to suit purchasers. Best bullocks are worth from £0 10s to £7 ; do cows, £4 to £5 10s. Store Sheep.-Transactions have of late been so limited that any quotations must be taken as merely nominal; indeed, we do not anticipate that any important lota will change hands until after shearing. ™!
