Best fat cattle, principally from the outside ru!i=, have been received in g »od order, and have fully maintained previous price*. Second quality are something easier in price; aged oxen bringing from .£]6 to £'22 each; 3-year olds from £l4 to £IS. Cows, from £,*l3 to £*lß. Heifers, from £*lo to £l3. The cargo of cows and heifers by the Abeona average l £*l4 ss, each. The oxen by the Heron £i7» the cows, £*l2 j each. Grown store chile are easier in price, at least 15% per ! bead, than during the previous fortnight, cow; bringing ftom | £*B to £TI each; steers, £*9 to £*ll each. Hand-fed calves j and yearlings are offering plentifully, and realize extreme i prices; 8 months’ old calves bring from £*3 10 to £*4 s*. each ; I 12 to 18 months old, £*s 10s to £'B each. Dairy cows are scarce an I in demand, those of good quality bringing from : £l6 to £l!) each. Good working bollocks are enquired for, j and none offering. The sheep market has been barely sup. j plied with stock, and prices have lisen. Best fat wethers i selling as high a* 48*. eacii; ewe* from 32-. to 50 s, each; but the greater pa*t of the sheep brought forward for the fat ewes are of inferior quality. Store sheep are improving in price, weiher hoggets bring from 18-', to 24% each. Ewes, ]<)to [ 24-. each. Lambs, 14-. to IBs. Few breeding ewes are coming I forward, and there is a settled enquiry for them, those sold have brought from 22-. to 295. each. The horse market is bare of stock, particulaily draught animal-, and sales are effected more ic.dily than a short time since, good animals, either for draught or the saddle, arc in request, Messrs Styak A: Hunter report that for fat cattle prices continue high, and there is no perceptable liberation since last week Good quality is scarce We s-Id bullocks at £‘ll JOs to £lB 17'.

We quote sheep ai 3*»s. Gd. to 40s Gd.; lambs, 25-, to 2Gp, Gd, Dairy and store stock are offered so sparingly and of such iudiff.-rent quality, that it is difficult to indicate by quoting prices the general state of the market for this cl «s*.
