SALE OF HIDES.

Messrs. Stronach Bros, and Morris report as follows : We held our fortnightly sale of hides at our stores Crawford street, to-day, when there was an average attendance of buyers present. Prices were quite up to last report— in fact, for heavy prime ox hides there was an upward tendency, and a rise may be quoted for these. The demand for all classes continues keen, and we can confidently recommend owners to forward consignments for sale by auction. Our best price to-day for ox hides was 7£d, at which figure we sold a line averaging 7Olb For cows we obtained 4*d. Our catalogue comprised 114 ox and cow hides and five calfskins, a total of 149 We quote as follows .
