There was a large entry of fat lambs, the offerings being the largest this season, •totalling .5100.

There was good competition among the exporters, who were operating on a somewhat lower basis of value, the average . being about sgd to 5Jd per :1b .over all, . tegs bringing relatively loss money than lighter weights. The unfinished Jambs went to graziers. Exporters secured 3600. The range of prices was:— Tegs 18s to 20s. Average freezing weights 16s to 17s 9d, Light and unfinished 15s to 15s 9d.

'■■>" v ■ . .:.■::: ■ ■ ■■:.■■■ ■' .; ; STORE SHEEP, The yarding of store sheep was easily the largest brought-forward at Mdington during the present 7 season, the entry being so large that the pens usually set aside for sheep of this class proved altogether inadequate; Ewes of all grades were largely represented, the balance of the entry being made up of lambs, also •of various grades., and a few wethers, mostly of an inferior to medium class. As has. been the case at several recent sales, sheep from outside Canterbury formed a fair proportion of the yarding. The upward tendency of the markets or ewes which has marked recent sales; was "again .clearly manifest, previous: ruling prices being well maintained, almost every one of the many lots offered finding purchasers | at auction, whichmust have proved en- ' tirely satisfactory to vendors. The .top i lots 'of lambs were perhaps a shade ! easier, although there was no quotable decline in prices, but the demand for medium to inferior sorts ensier. Wethers were unchanged.. The The following was. the range of prices:— .: Best rape lambs 14s 6d to 15s 9d (bulk tinder 15s). ' '. ■' . ' Good rape lambs 13s 3d to 14s; ' 'Medium to good rape lambs 12s to 12", 9d.
