There is no demand for best descriptions and medium mixed and good colour mixed were on a par to Is per cwt. higher than last week.

Saturday’s sale at the Inglewood mart was well attended and good prices ruled throughout, though the pig market was slightly easier, which probably may bo accounted for by the fact that the factories in this district have lately decided to resume making casein, a point which had been doubtful.
