Eat wethers were in demand and sold to a stronger tone, whilst fat ewes, which comprised the major entry in this section, showed no advance. Breeding ewes were represented by a few pens of odds and ends. Hoggets of both seises came forward in fair numbers, and in the entry' some very attractive lines were included. The attendance was small, and competion was a little erratic, but best sorts commanded good competition with prices firm. Black face hoggets carrying any wool were also more strongly competed for. The entry of beef was a fair average one, with a sound sale. Practically no store cattle other than store dairy cows came to hand. In tho dairy pens a fair quality yarding was submitted, with active competition for anything close to profit.
