Tho demand was keen for mutjton. but there was an over supply of beef, and lower prices prevailed. Store sheep -wero in better demand' than last week. The salo 1 concluded in a failing light, and in view of the big pennings, which show no sign of diminishing, it would bo found conducive to the comfort of patrons and the Kuccesa of the sale to 6tart proceedings in fat stock a. little earlier.

The yarding; was an unusually big one—l3s compared with 255 last week—a.!!!! comprising chiedy medium steers and cows.
