AUCTIONS. H. MATSOX AND CO. TT MATSON A K D CO. -• REPORT ON THE MARKET AS FOLLOWS : STORE SHEEP. For this lime of the year the entry of store sheep was. quite a largo one, numerous pens of back country sheep coming forward. Tho attendance was not a la:go one, and the. day was anything 1 but pleasant, but nevertheless stock did not appear at big disadvantage, as up to tho present weather conditions have been so moderate that most of tho stock are looking pretty 'well. Open woolled tbroe-quarterbrcd and crossbred dry sheep such as wethoTS and hogget 3, while ihey wcro a shade easier, were strongly supported up Ui a certain basis, evidently representing tho limit of speculation for transportation to southern centres. Good wellgrown fino-woolled wethers in our opinion wcro decidedly easier. This was to bo expected with tho knowledge wo all have of the vcrv few root crops available locally. Breeding ewes of tho halfbred typo late thorn and not showing -very much in lamb, failed io change hands at auction, but wn understand were eventually disposed of vately. The basis at which they wero passed seemed to bo quite a reasonable one for any man who had back country and wanted sheep, but for our immediate local surroundings on tho Canterbury Pl*"-" arcl with tho competition that is available in the public centres, xmless the special enquiry for back country was in evidence, this particular cla6B of sheep woujd have been back from 2s to 3s less than they were passed at auction. This, of course, is merely our opinion. Tho whole sale lacked tho stiffening, and of course it is to be expected now as we are right into' "The winter and most of those farmers in the immediate vicinity and on thr Plains have filled their requirements and later on, say September and Octbocr, it will be or should be a story ©f another colour, but in tne meantime the unsatisfactory conditions that are regulating wool and the. fact that the financial housos of tho Old World ore now calling upon those speculators who bought woo! , in colonial centres for more- security to cover their responsibilities, it does not _look_ as though any spontaneous jump is jn sight, in connexion with tho present prices offering for wool. FOR BEST RESULTS, CONSIGN YOUR STOCK TO H. MATSON and CO., ADDINGTON. LA.MBS. Thero was a total entry of 2000 storo lambs in the market of which H. Matson and Co.'s entry was 524, and although good prices were the order of the day, excited competition was not in evidence. Prices genially wero firm and the ultimate realisation of the different lots left very little to be desired. Wherever consignments were well finished wo are of tho opinion that they sold in excess of schedule rates, and wherever they were plain or represented uncertain qualities the opinions as regards th'eir marketable value were persistently at variation. Very few of tho local butchers were buying, hence prices were regulated entirely bv the export trade. Wo quote for prime,' Hid to 121 d over all andlOfd io 11 jd for seconds.

•\Ve estimate that • roughly there were 4000 fat sheep yarded, B. liaison and Co.|o entry comprising 750.' The quality for t&'o most part left & lot to be desired, but for this the. •"■eildors were more than compensated by the hardening tendency of the purchasing power. Generally speaking, ire are of opinion that " all 'grades, of .ewes hardened from Is 6d to 2s per headland all wethers made fully Is better, than previous sales. There were "rijfinoroua otfuntry orders representing district butchers and "West Coast purchasers, ■who, from time to time, caused keenest competition juth the export buyers and the local tradesmen.
