HAMILTON MARKET REPORT. Hamilton, July 27. Beef has been coming forward in fail' quantity, but values have descended to a level t-lian has been reached at this season for a number of years. Many still have hopes of improvement possible with good reason, but there seems little to. justify the belief that early expectations will be realised. The ‘ mutton market is fairly steady, although a downward trend is visible. Ample supplies- are forthcoming. It may be safely asserted that the enthusiasm which pervaded the store cattle market during the past .month or so has departed. This was not unexpected. An early rise such ns was experienced this year seldom proves of long duration. Grown steers are very little sought after. Forward cows aro in fair demand. Two-year steers drew a certain amount of competition, blit never reach high values. Empty heifers of the same age are undoubtedly tlio most attractive class of stock offering, although there is evidence of a turn in the tide. At most centres good yearlings, especially heifers, are fancied, and many good sales have? been recorded. Like cattle, the store sheep market has suffered a relapse. 8o little can he ascertained regarding the prospects of the coming year that this is not to be wondered a-t. The market for dairy stock seems proof against the reverses affecting other classes and continues its prosperous course. Clearing sales show most satisfactory results, the averages being quite equal to those recorded at the same period of last year. Although heavy draught horses are not in keen demand there is a fair oquiry setting in for the handy medium sorts. Hack and light harness horses have not changed. Pigs made a strong forward movement during the past few weeks, and judging by the small offerings may be expected to maintain their ground.
