At the Aldington yards- to-day there was ia , fair entry of stock and a good attendance. Store, cheep again sold well, but beef ws.s irregular- and rather easier. There was an 'improved demand for fat pigs^ especially baconcrs. Fat sheep wero not firm in consequence of the mixed quality of the yarding. fStore cattle met with a better sale, but diary cows were difficult to dispose of.

Stoic Sheep. — The yarding was composed chiefly of hoggets, for which, though they sold well, the demand was hardly as keen as of laite. The principal sales were: — Sixty aged ewes, in lamb, 16s; 60 halfbred wethers, 21s 6d; 54 crossbred 17s 7d'; 76 at 17s -2d; 104 at 17s; 302 hoggets at 18s; 26 at 17s Gd; 6 at 17s 9d; 500 at from 17s to 17s 3d -,^278 at 17s let; 121 at 16s &d; 151 at 16s 2d; 56 at 15a sd; 117 at 14s; and 106 at 14s.

Fat Sneep. — The entry was fairly large, consisting principally of crossbreds and merino wethers. Of the former a considerable proportion was unfinished. The market opened very slack, but when graziers began to purchase ihe unfinished wethers prices became firmer. All re-ally prime lots sold well up to late rates, but the ton© of t"he market generally was irregular and slightly ■easier. Only a few lots of hoggets were offered, and they were soidNalong with fat sheep. c The range of prices was : — Prime wethers, 24s to 28s 10d; medium, 21s 6d to 23s 6d ; unfinished, 18s 3d. to 21s ; prim® ewes, 21a to 24s 3d; medium^ 17s ta 20s; others. 14s to 16s 6d; prime merino wethers, 20s to 245; medium, 17s 6d to 20s; others, 15s 3d to 17s; hoggets, 17s 'to 18s 3d.

Fat Cattle.— The supply consisted of 197 head, which was more' than was required. A few pirns of prime steers .sold well, but a large proportion of the entry was unfinished, and met with n dragging sale, especially cows and heifers. Prices all round were rather easier. Steers said at from £6 15s to £12 15s; heifers, £5 7s 6rl to £10 7s 6d; cows. £4 17s 6d to £8 5s (equal to 21s 6d to 23s 6cl per 1001b) ; other descriptions, 19s to 21s per 1001b. There was a large yarding of veal calves which sold "at from 7s 6d to j£3. -Store and Dairy Cattle. — There weio a few fair lines in the store cattle pens, and for the laigei- sorts there. was a better demand, a West Coast buyer being in the market. Fifteen and 18-months' old stock sold at from £1 iOs to £2 2s; two-year-old stoers, £3 to £3 9s; two-year-old heifers, £2 18s ed; three-year-old steers, £3 to £4 Is; three-year-old heifers, £4 Is (passed) ; dry cows, 28s to £3 15s. A large entry of dairy cows, mostly medium sorts, met vnxh an dull sale, the best piice at the auction being £7. Pigs. — There was a fairly large yarding, and an improved demand for baconers owing to thie operations of outside buyers Porkers also sold better, and there was a fair demand for la,rge stores. Baconers made from 45s to 525. equal to 31& to 3fd per lb; porkers, 26s to 345, equpl to 4£d to 4|d per lb; largi stores, 18s to 225 ; medium, 12s 6d to 17s ; weaners, 5s 3d to Ss 3d.
