a steady market. I (By Telsgraph. —Special to Guardian.) CIJIUSTCH URCH, This Day. Messrs Matson and Co. report as fob lows regarding their stock sale yesterday I'at sheep.—There was another large yarding the quality being mixed and the market very firm, and rather above last week’s prices. Rest wethers sold to 54s 6d, a few extra making from 63s 6d to 60s; prime 36s to 46s 6d; light er and inferior -29 sto 34s 6d. Best ewes to 465; prime 34s to 39s 6d; others 28s to 335; light and inferior 24s to 27s 6d. Lambs were firm.
Store sheep.—Another very large yard ing again, comprising a big proportion of travelled and dealers sheep. The market all round, especially for inferior lots, was inclined to bo easier. Good local sheep and fresh conditioned sorts showed no change. Best 2 and 4-tooth ewes to 365, S.M. 25s to 28s 6d. A few lots extra, good making to 32s 6d; other
115 s6d to 21s fid Not many lambs | were offered. Best rape lambs to 21s 6d 1 others 15s 6d to 20s; best wethers to 345; good forward sorts 27s 6d to 325; others 23s 6d to 26s 6d. In face of the large number of country sales and ewe fairs all over Canterbury' during the next fortnight, we do not anticipate any improvement in the market. Fat Cattle.—A medium yarding of prices, equal to last week, except for cows, which were easier, owing to one export buyer having no space. Prime steers were selling at last week’s rates. Extra steers £25 to £2B 2s 6d; prime £22 to £25; latter £ls to £18; cows and heifers £ll to £l2; unfinished £9 to £11; extra good to £l6 15s. Store cattle.—A medium yarding, mostly forward cows and bulls, with no quotable lines of steers. One pen of Hereford calves made £4 16s Od; dry cows sold at £6 10s to £9 2s 6d; bulls £lO to £ls 10s.
