'The N.Z. Loan and Mercantile Agency Cov., Ltd. (Inc. in Eng.) report as follows: —All entries in the sheep sections, although in excess of advertised numbers, "ere smaller than those of last week. Breeding ewes filled two races, hut with few exceptions wore of tho aged variety and lacked bloom, The presence of Waikato buyers assisted in keeping the market fully up to late rates. In the store lamb section the quality throughout was good and competition keen, particularly for top class wethers, which advanced by Is Cd to 2s on last week’s rates. There was also an unsatisfied demand for ewe lambs, and values wore very firm. The smaller entry in the fat sheep .section was responsible Jor a definite firming in tho market, especially for ewes. A very heavy yarding of dairy cattle was handled, cows being in the majority, lloifers sold very well and cows wero about on a par with last week. An extra largo penning of store cows ox-dairy sold fully up to tho standard of late sale rates, whilst fat cattle, the entry of which consisted mainly of cons, made a sharp rise of about £1 jx-r head. There were not any run cattle yarded.
