The horse stock sold at the auction were mostly lowpriced, varying from £3 to £15 ; privately, a draught horse was sold for £66, mare and foal £55. The sale of hides and skins, held in the afternoon, was also fully attended, and with good results. At Remuera, on Thursday, dairy cows were in limited numbers and at late values. 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.
