The sale opened as usual with the butchers' iines, but a very small yarding caused the trade to compete eagerly, and the few pans yarded realised prices in excess of those lately ruling. Butchers could net supply their re quirement?, and had to await the sale of some of the fat sheep penned in the larger lines. The store sheep were principally made up of some very good lines of crossbred ewes in lamb, two -tooth erossbreds for finishing off, and some small lines of good hoggets. Although the attendance was, good, the sale throughout was draggy, bub a very good clearance was made of most of the lines either at the auction or soon after. The prices ruling were—ln the butchers', lines, crossbred ewes, 8a 6d to 10s 6d ; two-1 tooths, mixed, 11a 6d to 12s 3d ; a few very j heavy aheep 18a 8d each ; medno wethers, j 8a 4d to 8s 5d ; merino ewes, 4s 4d.
