COMMERCIAL.
At the Point sales on Monday prices for sheep owing to the frosty weather and shortness of feed, did not maintain the level which has ruled at private sales. The same remark applies to the sales at Temuka yesterday, with the exception of fat ssheetp t which still keep up m price. The entries were better than at last Temuka sale, especially m sheep, 4500 being yarded, but very few were sold under the hammer. Most of the lines changed hands afterwards at satisfactory prices. The following are some of the prices : — Fat sheep from 10s 6d to 12s 6d, good forward stores 10s 9d, ewes m lamb 3s 3d to 10s 4d, hoggets from Is lOd to 8s Id. In cattle 80 head were yarded, only a small pen or two of fat butchers' cattle being among the lot. Bullocks sold at £6 15s, heifers £6 ss, milkers £5 10s, springers £5 10s to £7, stores up to £3 10s. In pigs there was not a very large entry, 50 making up the sales. Prices were about the same as previous sales. Baconers sold from 17s 6d to £1 2s 6d, stores from 2s to 9s 3d, porkers up to 11s.
