Mr. Newton King’s Report. On Tuesda^ 7 , 16th January, I held my usual four-weekly sale of above produce, the catalogue comprising 159 nales and 212 sacks wool, 930 hides, 3604 sheepskins, 18 casks and 33 tins tallow, 2508 calfskins, besides the usual quantity of horse and cow hair horse tails, bones, etc. There was a good attendance of buyers at the sale, competition being excellent throughout. « • Wool.—Up to time of closing catalogue this was not coming forward very freely, mainly through shearing being delayed and in some cases to the difficulties in getting conveyances to bring the wool in with. I, however, anticipate a big offering at my February sale, when most of the clips will then be in. Prices' for inferior and coarse crossbred were on a par with my last offering, but finer sorts were {-cl higher. Skins. —Values for these ivere on a par with late rates.
