AUCTIONEER'S REPORT.

Mr Peter Williams (for Fiiedlander Bros) reports for the week ending Tuesday, the 17th May, 1887 :— Oq Thareday, 12th mat, we held a clearing sale of timber at the yards of Messrs McOallam and Co,, and with the exception of one or two lines quitted all the timber submitted, at from a business point of view satisfactory prices, bnt taking into consideration the fact that it costs 6a 3d for railage we doubt whether the prices were satisfactory to the vendors. We also sold privately Mr W. W. White's timber m one lino to Messrs Taoker and Restell, to tbe r satisfaction of the vendor. On Friday, the 13th Inat, we held a charing sale at Mr G. Tilson's farm at Ealing. The attendance was not large, and the stock was la very poor condit'on and[a?ed; not withstanding thia very satisfactory prices were obtained. Aged draught horses from £L 10s to £9 ; dray, £9 ; double furrow ploughs, £4 to £4 10j ; horse power and oh6 Sautter, £15 ; set harrows, £3 ; harness at satis factory prices. On Saturday, the 14th inst, we held our weekly sale of horses at our East Street Horse B«ziar, but owing to the state of the weather few ontries vrere . made. A few hacks ohangod hands at from £7 to £10. We hero beg to call the attention of buyers to oar advertisement, for uext Saturday. The horses are a grand lot, and ehould attract the atten tion of those In want of such stock. ; Previous, to the sale of horses, we sold furniture and sundry lots of goods at satisfactory prices. Prime mutton, l£d per 1b ; pork, 2£i per lb j bacon, 3d ; hams, 4d j potatoes', 3a 3d to 63 3d per bag ; onions, Id per lb ; .crushed oats, 4s 3d per bag. At the Tiowald Yards on Tuesday, the 17th Inst, the entrtes were very small, Abont 2300 sheep, 20 head of oattle, and about 50 pigs came forward. The demand for fat cattle was nob very great, values being much about the same as last week. Fat crossbred owos, 4s 6d to 53 ; merino wethers 5j 4d ; fat oronsbred wethers 7s 6 1 ; 2-tooth croeßbreds fat 7s ; cross bred lambs 3s Id to 3a lid ; mixed oroes bred ewes m lamb 33 3d ; raged crossbred ewes 2* 8d to 'di 7d ; 2, 4 and 6-tooth orosabrod mixed, 63 Id ; 2«tooth crossbred wethers sj' sd. The demand for good r young orosabreds is increasing. There was a good demand for bacon pig', all submitted were Bold equal to 2£d to 31 per lb ; 2 pedigree boars weaneis fetohed 19 j each.

ADDINGTON LIVE STOCK MARKET.

TheAddington aaleyardo yesterday wero well attended, and tho market waa very ; heavily supplied m all departments. ; Catixk —The fat cattle yarded were rot', conspicuous for Read qmliiy, but acim* well fed steers and heifers of raodium to' fair weights wero among tham. Well on; for 400 head being entered, the eupply; was beyond tha requirements of the trade,: and a fall of 5t to 10a a hoid has to be' reported, aid an unuaal'y large proportion was removed unsold. Prime beef sold at' 17s 6d per 1001 b ; middling and infer cv\ from 163 down to 14a. Per head n'ce steers boM from £G to £7 7a 6d ; he'ferß, £5 to £6 5a ; and cows, £5 to £6 10e. The store citlle pens contained only small lines and odd animals, ai;d prices were little changed from tho rates current for the last two months. A small line cf yearlings Bold'at 20 n and two eaull lota of two-year-old steerajande heifers at 60j. Dairy oows of good quality continue m active demand, and a good assortment vras sold to-day at £6 to £0. Unless really gocd, oows fetch only nominal prices. Sheep. — The' very large number of fat sheep p naed were faced by buyers with good rpirifr, and with the assistance of ex porters., last week's rates were maintained, the best crosubred wothera being particu larly firm. The market was topped by a wonderfullyheavyand well conditioned pen of crossbred wethers, frorn'Myears Pearce and Dowling, Rakaia, which wero bought at the high, but not dear price of 163 6d, by Mr J. Li. Rosewarne. the ewce of the same draft selling at 10s 61. The store sheep offered wore not a very good lot, the exceptions being a line of Isrgn framed croßfcbred lambs, which sold at 4s Oi, and seme nvxed 2-tootb crossbredo at ss. The demand for fairly conditioned young croasbreds showed a little improvement. The following are the principal Bales : —194 crossbred ewes, mixed ages, In lamb 5a ; 185 2 and 4 tooth crosnbreds, 3s 6d ; 75 crossbred ewes, 2a 63; 182 crossbred lambp, 2j 3d; 103 do, 2h ; several linos merino ewoa, la 9d to 2* Id ; 300 mixed 2-tooth croesbreds, 5.' ; 109 crossbred lambs, 4s 9 J; 600 do, 2s 6d ; 130 do, 2* 2i. Fat lambs met a dull eale. A prime pen brought Qa, but good lara.bß sold at 3a 6d to 4s 9i ; secondary, 2j 6d to 33 3d. Pias. — The demand for bacon pigs waß rather brisker than on the preceding market day, and as seveial lines of superior quality were offered we again quoto the best park at equivalent to 3d to 3|d per lb, the pigs selling at from 333 to 4§i each. Secondary quality still is re garded with disfavor by curers. Porkers also sold well, at from 17a to 303 eech ; but the few ptorea present brought very low prices.
