We offered about our usual catalogue of hides, skins and tallow on April 7 i in our Gill Street store to a fully reI preventative body of buyers. | Hides.—Competition was particularly keen aild we advise another sharp rise I of from %d to %d, this .sharper rise J showing more particularly in heavy , cows, lighter weights showing advance in a lessor degree. Yearlings \vno particularly keenly sought after and made as high as 10% d for light weights and •')'/ 2 (l for heavy. Bulls shared in the rise, ' selling as high, as 6%d. Sheepskins.—Recent animated sales in London had a hardening elfect on all 1 classes of skins and these sold at the I 'highest rates so far for the season. > Every line was keenly competed for and sold at extreme values, sharpest rises • were noticeable in salted lines.
