Riddiford and T.P. Allen. A large number of buyers were present, and flock rams sold readily, the supply notbeinp equal to the demand. The stud Romney rams offered did not reach the owners' ideas of value. The following were some of the nrinoipal sales:—On account of Mr E. J. Riddiford we sold 6-tooth Romney rams at from 4 to 5 guineas, and on account of the same vendor 6 tooth Lincoln rams at from 3to \y 2 guineas. On account of Mr T. P. Allen we sold 2-tooth Romueys from 3% to 4 guineas, and on account of same vendor 25 stud Romney ewes at 1% guineas, and a very nice line of stud Romney ewelombsatthe same money. There was a strong enquiry for rams of all descriptions, but we regret that we had not a sufficient number in the yards to supply buyers' requirements,
