The yarding of beef was of good quality and contained some outstanding lines. In spite of this, a dull sale resulted. Fat Lambs. Tlie yarding of fat lambs was substantial, but the quality was not outstanding. ‘The sale opened with values firm under brisk competition, but the demand for butchers’ lambs later fell ofT a little.

Fat Cattle. The entry of fat cattle was about 440 head, as compared with 484 head entered at the market of the previous week. The supply was from local sources, with the Peninsula heavily represented. The general quality was a big improvement upon recent markets and steers, which made up a very large portion of the entry, were especially notable for fine finish. There were nearly ten races of the supply which could be termed good prime beef. Cows were not penned in such great numbers as at earlier markets of the year.
