MESSRS. HUNTER AND NOLAN'S REPORT.

Auckland, January 13. Cattle.— The number brought forward have been short of requirements, and a larger number of all classes would have i found purchasers at the previous week's values.

Some averages of steers were : £9 6s, J6B 15s, £8 3s 3d, £1 8s 3d. £7 63 3d ; cows, £6 7s 6d, £5 16s £6 7s 6d, £4 15s, £4, 2s 6d, JB3 6s.

MB. NEWTON KING'S WEEKLY BEPOBT.
