Per Press Association. CHRISTCiIURCH, Muroh i'2. 'lhere was h large entry of -stock r-'d x\ good attendance to-day. Good Irreding ewes sold well and wethers .sold i\t late rates, but- lambs wir 0 easier. Fat lambs showed a further decline, and fat cattle were also lower in xirice. The yarding of storo sheep was a largo one, though not equal to last week's. The quality was better, and there were few oversea sheep offered. The principal proportion of -ewes, r.-nd these were mostly of a medium to class. The balance was made up of a few lots of wethers and a smaller proportion of lambs than for some time past. For the better class of -ewes there was a. good demand, and sales were effected at improved rat.»s. Wethers showed no change, but lamb* v.ere very, dull of sale in sympathy with the decline in the value of fat lambs. Two-tooth ewes made 13s to 17s 4d, others from lis Bd, good 4-tooth halfbred ewes to lGs 9d, souiid-mouMud owes 8s to lis Gd, and G and 8-tooth ewe® 10s Gd to 13s; forward lambs 9s to 10s 3d, medium sorts & to 8s Gd, inferior 5s to 5s 9d, and culls 2s upwards; forward wethers 12s to 13s, , medium sorts 10s 9d to lis Gd, nnd small lialf-breds 8s to 9* Gd. U le entry of fat lambs was larger than last week, but the quality was on tho whole very indifferent, only a small proportion being well finished.
