The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., report: — Our catalogue contained all classes, the majority of entries being inferior. Sales were dull under the hammer for all excepting those of good quality, but we managed to affect a clearance before the close of the day. In fats, one pen of medium "wethers made 15s 6d; medium ewes, 12s to 12s 6d; forward ewes, Ss to 10s; culls, 3s to 4s. The breeding ewes offered were of poor quality, making cull prices. In lambs, the lots were medium and small, prices 8s 6d, 6s 6d, 6s, ss, 3s 6d. In beef, we submitted cows and heifers. These, however, failed to reach owners' reserves. Some very choice dairv cows, close to profit, reached from £7 15s to £lO.

Competition for beef was better than last week, but the prices realised were not much better. We also offered a herd of 16 cows, on behalf of Mr G. F. Rawson, which were somewhat backward in condition, but were well competed for.
