HIDE AND SKIN REPORT. Dialgety and Co.. Lkl., report: At our monthly wool, skin, hide, etc., snk , , there was a large attendance of buyers, and a full catalogue was offering, .prices for wool and sheepskins ruling on a par with last sale's rates. Hides showed a slight decline, owing to the extra weight, which is usual at this time of the year, when they are in a more 01 less wot condition. After allowing for this, the genera] average per hide works out fully equal to recent sales.
