AUCTIONS. ][. MATSON AND CO. HE JOT OF GR£A TI 0 Jf. The free taan lives In order that nifty make; he do»« nut make in order that ha m&y life. We All lore jnaJcing thiiiss, and the life which creates nothing is empty. When a poet or a politician talks of his ambition for immortality, often it is not that he desires merely to win the praise of generations still unborn, but that he wishes to have that proof of his power of creation. What drives him i» not the desire for praise but the desire to create. We are not satisfied with a creation that lasts only for a day. Some men go thwarted all their lives of the chance of making something: some have to set their fatisfnetion upon some little act cit creation in their spare time. Because of distaste and restriction the working day lias gone past without any real profit to them: they hnve merely made in order that they might live. Only in the remnants of their time have they lived to make. These aTe the real causes of the unhappiness which lies deeper than economics. IT IS NOT A BRASS PLATE OX THE DOOR THAT MAKES A BUSINESS, BUT THE PERSONALITY AND GOOD WORK OF THE OCCUPANT. FOR BEST RESULTS CONSIGN ALL STOCK TO MATSON'S, ADDINGTON. In H. Matson and Co. there is happiness because there is everywhere the spirit of creation. Wc are all working together in trying to create the best firm in the trade.

For our sale on October 17th wo offered • catalogue of 5963 bales, representative of a wide area of the State. Notable amongst the districts represented were Moree, Barraba, the Upper Hunter, Riverina, Lachlan, and central-west. The offerings included a number of attractive, well-grown wools of good quality, also a proportion, particularly from the western aud Riverina districts, rarryiny more or less burr and dust. There was also a fair showing of comeback and fine crossbred wools, most of which, however, showed burr and dust to some extent. EVERT SHEPHERD should have an outfit, comprising small fot of Dagging Shears, aluminium bottle with a screw-top for Iysol or an antiseptic of any kind. Used often on the run the life of many a sheep has been saved that has been blown by flies, or required dagging or had other accidents. DO NOT BE WITHOUT ONE; IT IS ESSENTIAL. H. MATSON and CO. can supply. Competition throughout was animated and veil sustained, and the general tone of the market was distinctly more encouraging than at our previous sale on the 1 6th instant. France, Japan, Germany, and Yorkshire supplied the bulk of the competition, the Japanese section proving particularly keen operators on average wool and burry and dusty descriptions. The bulk of the finer wools was secured by French buyers, while thd German section took a big proportion of broken* and pieces, also burry fleece wools. Yorkshire is buyinr with more freedom than at the eatlier sales, and the support from that quarter is not fully revealed by their purchases alone, as even where their limits are fceatan by their competitors, their bidding it a very valnable assistance. Good support is available from America on suitable line*, and an expansion of purchases for that country seems assured as the offerings become more suitable for its requirements. Just at present, well-grown, stylish merino wools showing freedom from burr, such as America specialises in, are relatively scarce. A welcome feature at onr Bale was the activity of one of tho local mills on rnperior fleece wools. Tbey purchased the first nine lots of an attractive, well-grown ellp from the Hunter Valley at prices ranging from 26d to 2SJd; The denfand for skirtings remains as keen as ever, and such descriptions are still relatively dearer than fleers wools. Undoubtedly the prices realised for brokeni, pioces, and other lower descriptions are to a large extent, responsible for the excellent average per bale which it being realised at the present time.

We have but one thought, and that is the welfare of the roan on the land. Order yonr CORNSACKS from H. MATSON and CO. Comebacks and fine eroMbreda continue to realise remunerative figures, and it is no uncommon occurronee in the case of clips oonsisting partly of merino and partly of comeback or fine crossbrod, for the latter t» realise prices equal to, or very little inferior to, those forthcoming for the merino. Tata, ot course, is partly due to the comparative scarcity of these in the Sydney market. H. KATSON aftd 00, ObrfatcJrarclu
