I Messrs Dalget.y and Company, Ltd., report as follows:—We held our fortnightly sale at our Taratahi yards, yesterday, when a very good yarding came forward fully up to advertised numbers, although several linen were sold privately during the week. .Bidding throughout the sale was rather dragging, the result being very few sales were effected under the hammer, but as there were several buyers present most of the entry was cleared. There were several lines of exceptionally good ewes, in lamb, offered, and also some good lines of lambs which were practically all competed for and sold. Wethers did not come forward as entered, and several buyers who were there had to go home disappointed. Although several lines had been entered vendors decided at the last moment not, to bring them forward, which course 19 very unsatisfactory to our clients. We quote as follows:—Two, 4 and 6tooth ewes 10s 9d to 12s (!d, 2 tooth ewes in lamb 8a to 10s <Jd, l'.f.m. ewes in lamb 7s lOd to 8s Bd, lambs, forward, 7s to 7a lid, lamb 3, backward, 4a 3d to 5s 6d,; forward empty ewes Ca 4d to 9a 3d,! Our next sale will be held on Tuesday, the 16th instant, and every fortnight until further notice.
