The supply was an average one, and lato prices were maintained. Cattle' At tho Newmarket yards, on Tuesday, tho Bupply of dairy and store stock was up to tho average, but owing to the holiday interfering with both steamers and railway traina.tho supply of fat cattle was small, and consequently prices ruled higher. On Wednesday, at Pukekohe. tho yards were well 'filled, and store stock of all descriptions were in Btrong demand. For good steers, from one to four years old, there remains an unsatisfied demand. Sheep: Tho supply on Tuesday was large, and last week's prices fully sustained. liauibs were scarce, and sold well. Pigs: A largo number penned, and demand brisk. Bacon pigs aro in request.
