There was an excellent at tendancb. In the opening portion of the salt - a ~ few passings were in evidence, Iml as the sale proceeded competition became more general and the greater bulk of the catalogue appeared to be disposed of by auction.' There were consignments from the various district edict, jilso from KaikoUra and ftoaj.'' tho Chatham Islands. 'With attractive' consignments of Itomneys and tlirtju-q.uartcrbred sheep values were recorded that -were for the most part In ascess of recent rates. Good lines ,of reliable mouths and evenly graded : line wools also canto in lor hotter pfices. Of the many purchases from recent faiifd that came forward to-day, they were being fiold at improved prices on what was paid for theta at district centres, but it must not be overlooked that tho consignments were placed on the market iu an attractive manner both as .regards age, culling, and evenness. Consignments iu backward condition or bf Uncertain mouths wero still hard to sell. Hornncy and crossbred two-tooths were well corapotod for throughout the whole sale, but two-tootlis fine wools, eveli an attractive consignment, sold very irregularly. In reviewing the market as a whole wd feel that wo are quite safo in saying that for all the better grades of sheep .better prices were in evidence, and we believe that the reason was this—very few North Island sheep are coming on to this market, and farmers are filling their W3nts " from the local flocks sooner than risk delay. Two-tooth Rom* ncys sold up to 16s sd, four and six-tootli sold np to 18 s, fine-woolled two-tootbs sold up to 15s. The catalogue included numerous odd pens of oddments, including cull • two-tooth ewes, cull aged ewes, and, in fact, ?nuny lots, of unattractive appearance. Before closing We would draw the • attention of vendors to the necessity of dipping their sheep before they send them into tho market. When this is neglected it means that your stock has to be dipped at the yards, and they are sold at a disadvantage and the congestion it causes in the alleyways and in the market generally is a matter of grave complaint. • FOR BEST RESULTS CONSIGN YOUR STOCK TO H.
