Fat Cattle — About 195 head were yarded, including some good lines. Steers brought from £5 to ±'9 53 ; heifers, from £4 5s to 18 15? ; cows £4 Is 6d to £8 2s 6 1.

Store Sheep —A large entry, comprising moßfcly half fat turnip *heep, ewes in lamb, and good forward hoggets. There were a good many buyers in attendance, but owing to high values placed on consignments by vendors, numerous lines 'had to be passed. Hoggets brought from 8% t0., 12s 6d ; croßs bred ewes in lamb, 14s 7d to 15s;^at wethers, 133 lOd to 14s sd.
