Store cattle in short supply, but in demand, and slightly better worth. Fat cattle in averaga numbers ; 114 head sold. Throughout the greater part of the sale last week's values ruled, but a slight improvement was obtained towards the end of the auction. Fat sheep were in moderate supply, and in demand at last week's values. Lambs numerous, but; in request, and maintained their price. Store sheep in limited numbers, with many buyers.
