We would draw attention to the foolish practicr" several of our clients indulged in by selling privately themselves sheep that had beon placed in our hands for salo and catalogued. In ovory instanco they sold at far less than they would have obtained under tho hammer. Mr Barriball bought priyatoly a three-shear ram bred by Mr storey and sold by Mr Hunt at I guineas, and was prepared to go to 8 guineas for tho same animal. Instances liko this should prove to the public that when onco stock aro placed in auctioneer's hands for salo, they had better bo left with tho auctioneer to HC II. —Wo havo sold privately during the week 2500 full-mouth longwool owes from Whakatane at 8s fid ; 1000 half-bred owe lamlw at Gs lid ; 1000 full-mouth cross-bred ewes, 7s (id ; and ">OO longwool ewo lambs at 7s dd ; ISO two-tooth flock Lincoln rams at l! 2 js, f.o.b at Spit, Napier.
