For the latter description prices wero much about tho same as last week, but for the former competition lacked spirit, and prices woro easy.

Fat Sheep. — The market to-day was conssderably over supplied, 700 merinos and 3146 crossbreds boing ynrded. Ono-half would havo amply supplied trado requirements, and consequently only tho primost qnality had any demand, and thon atarodnotionof fnlly 2s per head on last week's prices. Low and medium quality wero difficult to placo. Only for some graziers preaont, who wero tempted by the low E rices offered to bay, a largo number would aye been turned out unsold. Best crossbred wethers brought 7s 6d to 9s 6d. One extra heavy pen brought 10s, medium 5s Gd to 7a, best do owes Gs Gd to 8s 6d, one pen 10a 3d, medium 3s 9d to Gs.
