Messrs. Stronach, Morris, and Co', report :— Raitfbitskins.— We offered a large catalogue on Monday to an average attendance of buyers, and prices were quite up to those lately ruling. We obtained as high as 19-|d for winter does, and 35d for blacks. Sheepskins.— We submitted a large catalogue on Tuesday, and hav<e to report that prices were a shade easier (about per 1b on last week's), owing to cables recently received from Home. Prices, however" are still high, and we are sure vendors would be well pleased with returns "for any they may forward. Hides.— We offered a catalogue of 303 last Thursday, b,ut regret to say that the market was decidedly easieir. Our top price for ox was 6d, and for cows 4$d t Tallow and. Fat.— No change to report.
