WAIKATO MARKET REPORT. The Farmers’ Co-op. Auctioneering Cq. , Hamilton, report: —Beef. —The market is stiff very firm with every prospect of keeping so* for at least a couple of months. Good yardings are coming forward; also good sales being made in the paddock. Prime steers and c-ows are most sought after. Mutton.—There is little change in the price of fat sheep, with the exception of extra* prime quality, which is very firm.; Store cattle.—There is a good enquiry for grown steers; also young steers, with offering. yardings consist mostly of store cows and yearling heifers, there being little demand for the latter. Store sheep.— Fair yardings have been coming forward, consisting principally of hoggets, which are finding ready sale at high prices. Daily cattle.—The yardings are easing off, dairying being in full swing, but there is still a good demand for choice cows or well-grown heifers close to profit, inferior being very dull. Pigs.—Good yardings of fats and stores are coming forward at the different markets., and are finding keen competition at high prices, stores the last week being a little easier, owing no doubt to the large numbers yarded. Horses.—Good heavy, medium and light- draughts are still in demand, but little enquiry.
