FAT CATTLE. There were 431 head of fat cattle penned, including a number of lines of very prime quality In consequence of tho large jarding, there was a. weaker demand, and prices declined about Is 6d per 1001b. Steers made £7 17s 6d to £11, extra to £15; heifers £5 17s 6d to £10 10s. and cows £5 to £10 17a 6d, equal to 24s to 27s 6d for prime, 21s to 23s 6d for medium, and 19s 6d to 20s 6d for cow and inferior per 1001b.

STORE CATTLE. The yarding was a small one, and the quality throughout very indiflerer.t, the condition being poor. Owing to tbe scarcity of feed, there was a poor demand, and sales were extremely difficult to make. Yearlings made 13s to 14s 6d, fifteen to eighteen-month sorts £2 lis, two-year heifers £3 13s, and dry cows 25s to £3 15s. DAIRY COWS. A fair number of dairy cows wore penned, and for the better class there was a keen demand, bnt cows in poor condition were comparatively neglected. Representative prices ranged from £4 .o £8 ss, extra making to £9 lOe. PIGS. Pigs of all classes formed good entries, and there was an improved demand for fats, resulting in a brisker sale. Choppers sold up to 80s, heavy baconers 50s to 565, and lighter 38a to 47s 6d. equal to 4d per lb; largo porkers 32s 6d to 375, and smaller 25s to 30s, equal to 4_d per lb. Tbe yarding of stores was not as large as at several recent sales, and the heavier description was practically unrepresented. For medium-sized animals of a good class there was a good demand, skies being made at prices ranging frcm los to 19s, while smaller sorts, for j winch there was less enquiry, changed

Sands at 5s to 14s. For wea-nere ihe demand was lifeless, and sales were mado at prices ranging from 2s to 4s M. TEMUKA. Thero was a good yarding of sheep at tho fortnightly stock sale at tho Temuka yards yesterday, and prices were good for this timo of the year. Fats brought good prices, but in many cases did not reach owners' reserv.es. The following prices were realised:—, Fat Lambs: 40 lis 4d, 170 10s sd ; -j6 13s 9d, 109 13s 1d,,23 lis 10d, 8 lte 6d. 18 14s, 31 lis 6d. 100 12s 7d, .118 10s. 89 lis 2d. 60 lis 3d, 55 10s 9d. 45 13s 4d, 68 13s od, 70 12s Id. good line los 6d.
