Fat Cattle,—Just over 200 head < f fat cattle formed the beef supply, 'Lheae in cluded some very prima steers, several lines of useful heifers, and a few really good cows.

Best beef fetohed 168 to 17a 6.1 per lQOibs, cow and secondary sortß 12j 6d to 15*. Prices per head of steers were £4 103 to £8 sc, heifera £3 17s 6d to £7 ss, cows £3 to £1 10s. Fat Sheep.—The heavy yarding of fit sheep included a fair proportion sf prime freeze™, but the bulk was ewe mutton, of which a large proportion were only half fat. j Ewe mutton was a perfect drug, and owing to ft block at the factories, freezers were slightly easier. Heavy weight wethera, 17s 60 19a; beat freezers, 15s to 16s 10.1; medium, 13s to 14a 6d; unfinished. 11b to 12s 9d ; beßt ewes, 11s to 12s 6d ; medium, 8s to 10a 6d ; inferior, 6b 6d to 7s 9d ; merino wethern, 7s 6d to 10s sd.

There was keen com petition for extra good lines of ewes, but; ordinary and inferior sorts wers dull of s<*le. The demand for hoggets was about on a par with last week. Taken as a whole, the sale was rather draggy, and unless rain comes soon, we see but little prospect of prices improving. Our entry for the day consisted of 2157 Bheep, 8 cattle, and 20 pigs, of which we sold the following:-Sheep— 33 two and four-tooth wethers 14s, 29 merino ewes ss, 3 two-tooth wethers 13?, 1 ewe and lamb 7s 6J, 20 merino ewes 4s lid, 37 at 33, 128 fat lambs 10* 3d, 40 hoggets 8s 3d, 61 at 8a 7d, 87 eight-tooth haiibred ewes in lamb 11s 3d, 191 two-tooth crossbred wethers Us, 100 merino ewaa in lamb 63 Id, 67 crossbred ewes in lamb 7s Id, 89 six and eight-tooth crosßbred ewes in lamb 9s 10 1, 300 two-tooth ewes and wethers 8a 9d, 200 crossbred ewes in lamb 7s 6d.

In spite of the dry weather orders are coming in freely for grass seeds of various kinds. There is a large demand for Italian ryegraas, which is being aown much more extensively than usual for early spring feed. Onions have advanced to £6 10s.
