A * "Jirjce number woro again entered at this Durham Yaids on Friday ; bidding wa« languid, and sales were difficult to effect, although seveial horses held over from the previous week found purchaser 5 ?. We quote a decline of fully 10s per head on the previous week's rates. Wool, hide, and skins : Hides were not in brisk demand, but the previous week's values were maintained, and skins advanced fully 3d each, . the first wool sale of the season was well attended by buyers, but the business of competition was left to the minority. There was an impnn ement in the staple." of many of the lots as compared with the previous year, and prices were from £d to Id per lb higher for grea«y than at the corresponding sale of 1883. Puces ranged from 5Jd to (s?d for longwool in grease ; badly washed, 8d per lb. Cattle : There * has been no further drop in value, but * prices are ruinous to shippers, and little local stock was brought forward. The Newmarket yards were amply supplied on Tuesday, the prices were generally a shade higher than on the previous week, although they fluctuated from 17s Gd to 22s per IOOIbs. Sheep : A good many have been "brought forward, and prices ruled low, Belling at from Is 4d to Is 8d per 81 bs ; lambs, from 5s i)d to 12a Gd. Pigs : Only a few came forward ; puces unchanged.
