Theie was a '"airly largo yarding of vcalers, the bulk of them being medium weights to prime eight to twelve months old calves. The demand for all classcs was free, there being active competition for r.carly all li!:c?. Prises were; — Kunncri £G 5s to £S ss. Good vealers £4 10s to £o iss. Krvir calves £2 7s Gd to £3. Sinai] and inferior sorts 3s Gd to 15s. STORE CATTLE. The store cattle pens contained a very mixed lot, there being no good lines of any class. Th» offerings ranged from badly grown calves to small mixed lots of steers and heifers, some of which were from Chatham Islands and dry cows and bulls made up tho balance; The demand manifested an improvement, poor quality sorts selling much better than of late. Values showed n slight advance for dry cows and calves. Fourteen mixed aged Chatham Island steers sold at £7 lis Gd to £13 10s, good dry cows ranged from £6 to £9 106, and IS months old to two-year old cattle £5 to £8. DAIRY COWS. There- was a fairly large yarding of dairy cows of various ages and quality. For all good animals there was a keen demand and u clearance was made at prices on a par with those ruling lost- week, cows and heifers close to calving being much Bought after. Tho best cows realised £15 to £18 15s. others £7 to £14 10b, best heifers £12 to £22, others £7 to £11. PIGS. Fat pigs were represented by an average entry, the quality being 1 more satisfactory than at some recent sales, unfinished pigs being fewer in number. Tho demand showed no material change, but that for porkers was rather better. Quotations ale; — Choppers £4 to £9. Extra, heavy baconers £6 5s to £7. Heavy baconers £4 17s Cd to £5 10s, lighter baconers £4 to £4 10s, equal to 8d per lb. Heavy porkers 56s to 72s 6d. Lighter porkers 50s to 555, equal to 9d to 9fcd per lb. Only a small number of stores were penned, and the yarding included no large nnimnls. The demand was rather bettor than last week, probably on account of the emß-llnets of the entry. Quotations are: — Medium stores 32s to 445. Small stores '2Ss to 31s. Weancrs 153 to 2Cs.
