MESSRS. HUNTER AND NOLAN'S REPORT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Auckland. Saturday. Horses. — A greater number bave been brought forward than usual. Young broken horses of a good stamp found purchasers, but colts were not sought for, and weeds were completely neglected. At the yards on Friday, there was an enquiry for good cross-bred hacks, and we sold two at L 24 and L 35 each, and others of not such a good stamp sold at comparatively less; hacks, L 8 to Ll7 10s ; spring-cart horses, L 3 to L 25 10s. Cftttle. — The supply of dairy and fat stock has been plentiful. At the Junction yards on Thursday, the dairy and butchers' penß were well filled ; and for dairy cows, at their profit, there was brisk enquiry: butchers' cattle were steadily competed for, but there was no advance in price except for venl. The supply of calves being short of requirements, the few in, were briskly competed for, and sold at from 203 to 38s each. Sheep. — About the usual number were yarded. There was an improved demand, and consequently prices advanced considerably. Wethers sold at from 17a to 25s each; mixed sexes, insufficiently fatted, from 14b Cd to 16s 9d ; stores, 9s to 12s. Pigs.— iA good number were yarded, and prices slightly firmer, though ruling iv favor of purchasers.
