AUCTIONS. H. MATSON AND CO. H MATSON and CO. REPORT OX , • THE DOUBLE MARKET AS FOLLOWS:— I r STORE SHEEP, j There was quite a big cntrv of store ! sheep loi- this lime of the year, and the ; greater portion of it showed a luck of i ulooui and condition, evidently tiie effect , o.' the late autumn and cold spring. There ■ weie several pens of attractive sheep in the market. The attendance was not a big one 'at any time, although there was a fair ; sprinkling of buyers." Many of the lots ; were reoffcred lots, ;n most cases with instructions as legards price; nevertheless r.»arly !iio whole entry was sold at auction. There was a goad demand for first-class wethers, both in 'the wool and out of the wool. There, was a good enquiry for owe hoggets and just a medium enquiry for tlnee-quarteibred wether hoggets, although one exceptional line of crossbred wether iioggets sold up to 29s lOd. j k ""• -' u-u----bred wethers in the wool wi 32s to 375. We were informed these were off (he Waimakuriri reserves and belonged to Mr X. B. Moore. An attractive line of ewe hoggets sent in by Mr J. \V. Byrch, of Motunau, sold up to 39s Gd. There were two lines of cwe3 and iambs in the yards that were quoted as sound-mouth, vith fair lambs, but rather backward-con-ditioned ewes sold round about 17s to its. Olher sorts sold from !2s to ]ss. Brst shorn wethers sold from 19s to 23s lOd, and other sorts from 16s to 18s Gd. Shorn hoggets sold from 14s K)d to 15s 6d. Crossbred ewe hoggets, wellwoolled lots, nothing very big, being short in the leg, sold from round about 2Ss to 335. arid a small ■ lot, rather attractive shorn ewe hoggets sold at 2os. On the whole, we consider that prices showed an advance on the previous week, although buyers were loth to buy and sellers were hard put to it to induce the public to quicken the bidding, and the sale dragged considerably.

FAT LAMBS. There was a yarding of appro"'"'-'" 1 " 1000 fat lambs penned, of which son and Co.'s entr. comprised 310. The market opened on a par with the closing rates of last week, but as the sale proceeded prices receded and became irregular, and towards the close of the sale there was undoubtedly a further drop of from 3s to 4s on the closing rates of last Bale. The drop certainly was irregular, as wherever real well-finished and heavy lambs were forward they demanded the competition of the butchers, but the manv pens of too young and too light lambs became almost unsaleable towards the finish of the sale. Our expert estimates that, the sale after proceeding for about 20 pens made a drop o; from 3s to 4s a head for light and medium quality and Is to Is Gd for best quality lambs. Best lambs sold from 30s lOd to 30s -Id, and a few sales in the earlier part of the market made up to 3Sf. Medium la'mbs made from 2Gs 4d to 29s lOd and light lambs 22s to 24s 6d. Some of H. Matson and Co.'s best sales were on behalf of:—Mr J. Dugan, to 26s 4d; Mr J. White, to 31s lOd; Mr G. Pannett, to 3Gs 4d; Paparua Prison, DCs lOd; Mr v Jas.

FAT SHEEP, late the entry as uOOO to 6000 and every section was fairly well represented [ As is usually the case with n double market many consignments wore rushed forward thai were slipping back in condition, and man> narketed that had not reached a state Ul ""'tion in all sections. There was a fait percentage of what you might call extra neaVy sheep,, and there was also a fair percentage of prime heavy sheep. Both these sections in our opinion elicited the keenest ot competition and realised fullv the ,!f' BV f ern S e ra '°\°f week. The many K*i, SheeP « oth J n the WOOI and shorn -hat were on offer that might be classed as hj&. V } ai "' m ""finished, were the hardest thing to quit.

CALVES. ' There was r.n entry in this section of 375, of which H. Matson and Co.'s proportion was 201. The entry was representative of all I classes, from day-old calves to 18-months-old runners. The sale was a good one through•out, opening up firmly, with a sagging tendency about halfway through the sale, but, however, it brightened up, and at the end of the_ sale competition was keen. Mediumconditioned runners and unfinished venlers were not so much in favour, but anything good sold at full value. Values were:— Small calves 18s to 265, medium 28s to 355, good 37s 6d to 455. best 47s to 57s 6d, medium runners £3 2s 6d to £4. good £4 5s to £5 ss, best £5 10s to £6 15s, extra good up to £9.
