Messrs. Stronach Bros, and Morris report as follows for week ending June 23, 1903 :—: — Rabbitskjins. — At Monday's sale competition was keen for all offered, although greys were not quotably higher. We sold a small lot of blacks at 2s Bid. and winters up to 16d. Sheepskins. — Values ruling to-day were good on the whole, but bad pelted skins were a shade easier. Merinos are worth wp to 7*d per Ib, halfbreds to s*d, and crossbreds to 4£d. Hides. — No sale last week. Tallow.— Somewhat easier. Best tallow, to 24s • best candle fat, to 18s ; rough, fat, to 17s.

Oats. — 'J he number offeiing is not largo, and consequently, although not much business is passing, values hold their own.
