Quotations : Prime winter does, up' to 23£ d ; medium, 19d to 21d ; good, 16£ dto 18d ;■ mixed bucks and does, to 16^ ; early winters, 12d to lid ; autumns, lid to 13-|d; summers, to 9d, and small, 6d. Sheepskins. — Since our last sale the wool market in London shows merinos to be to id, higher, halfbreds id higher, and crossbreds about the same. The last sheepskin sales in London show the above advance for fine wools, but make coarse crossbreds down id. This was. the case here at this week's sales, fine wools quite holding their own, and in some cases showing a slight advance, and coarse wools being a shade easier. Tallow and Fat.— Best rendered tallow, 22s to 26s ; medium, 18s to 21s ; inferior, 14s to 15s 6d ; best rough fat, 17s toT-Os 6d ; medium, 14s 6d to 16s.
