SYDNEY WOOL SALES. Sydney, November 13. The wool sales closed without approciable change for good classes, but faulties were practically unsaleable. BURNSIDE. By Telegraph.—Per Press Association. Dunedin, November 11.

There was a smaller yarding of fat cattle than usual at Burnside to-day only 134 being penned. Owing to short supply the demand was keen, and the fall of 15s per head recorded last week was fully made up. Heavy-weight bullocks realised up to £l7 7s Gd, good, £l4 10a to £l6 10a; medium, £l2 10s to £l3 10s; light £9 10s to £11; best heifers to £l4 2s Gd; good £lO to £l2 10s; medium £8.,10 a Gd to £8 10s Gd; light and aged £5 5s to £G 17s Gd.

Fat sheep.—Of 2364 yarded a considerable number were of excellent quality, and the yarding on the whole was an improvement on that of last week; although there was a good demand, the extreme rates ruling at the end of last week's sale were not obtainable. Values to-day were about equal to the opening rates of last week, but were Is fid per head lower than those ruling at the close a week ago. Extra heavy-weight wethers, in wool, 35s to 445; prime wethers 20s to 335; medium 25s to 28s; light 22s to 245; shorn wethers to 24s 9d; extra prime owes to 36s 3d; prime 27s to 30s; medium 23s to 245; light 18s to 21s. Lambs.—B6 were yarded, and there was a fair demand at prices about equal to last week's rates. Best, 18s to 22s 6d; medium 16s to 17s; light 14s to 15s. Pigs.-The entry consisted, of heavy baconers. All classes declined in value, *nd in many cases sales were difficult to effect, and there was a decided reduction in price. Heavy baconers met with fair competition at prices on a par with those ruling last week, say, up to 70s; light baconers at 42s to 455; and porkers at 30s to 40s; were quite out of favor, and could only be sold with difficulty even at these prices. Slips met with =V W sales at 15s to 225, and sucker;; «<• lOs to Its.
