W. GORDON k CO.'S ADELAIDE STOCK
REPORT.— March 13.
Fat Cattle.— About 230 head formed this
week's supply, of which barely one-third were
prime, the balance medium and inferior. The
large supplies lately to hand and the hot
weatner bad kept tne trade full, and tne de
mand was consequently limited. Prices for
prime quality, however, suffered but little, but
inferior and medium were decidedly lower. We
sold 80 head light weights, inferior and medium
quality, at an average of £6 Is. 6d.
Fat Sheep. — A large number were yarded to
day, of which, however, only a small proportion
were prime. There was an active enquiry for
grazing purposes, which absorbed a large
number ; but the trade demand was dull, and
principally confined to the best sorts, for which
prices were about equal to last week's rates.
We sold 2,509 wethers at 9s.; 745 do., at 9s. to
10s.; 250 do., at 7s.
Fat Calves are in good demand. We sold a
few from 35s. to 40s.
Fat Lambs. — None in.
Store Stock.~This market is very inactive.

cattle, but there are very few sellers. We sold
