This is specially noticeable in hoggets and forward wethers. Ewes. ar.o also slightly easier. The cause of the. depression here is the doubtful outlook . for. wool. for the coming season, it. being, very uncertain how wool will rule during the next year. Nevertheless, prices for all classes of store stock are still on the high side. Store cattle are selling fairly well, and there is hardly any change in this section, the prices quoted last week being applicable to this. The following are approximate values:—■

• OAMARU MARKETS. (Feom Oub Own Correspondent.) OAMARU, August 21. There has been a fair amount of business passing in the' stock"market. The uncertain position' in ■ regard to wool has affected both the price and the number of transactions in most classes of sheep.
