Messrs.

Winter does (selected) to 19d. Sheepskins.— We submitted a large catalogue on Tuesday, and competition was again very keeJi, prices being a shade better than last week's, best halfbreds bringing up to 9^d per ft. We can confidently recommend consignments at present, and we are sure returns would give satisfaction. Hideis.— We offered a catalogue of 525 hides at our sale last Thursday to an average attendance of buyers. Prices for heaw and medium weights were somewhat easier, font light) weights held their own. We obtained up to 6^d for ox hides, and for cow hides up to 4|d, but we had nothing of exceptional merit forward. Tallow add Fat. — There is^ an easier tone in the market* although there is no change .to report in prices since last report.
