At the sale held at Mr. John Johns', at Ouimhu.on Saturday last, there was a vary numerous attendance. The sale was an unusually long one, bat steady competition was obtained throughout, and all sold satisfactorily. At Pukekohe, on Monday, there was a good supply of raluable cattle, well forward in their condition. Good dairy cows ranged from £6 to £7 10s each; fat steer*, £5 10s to £6 lus ; calves, 12s to 16s each. At Remuera on Thursday, fat cattle were in full numbers, but many of them of rery middling quality. Good animals were, at last week's quota* tions, from 18s to 21s the lOOlbs. Sheep were in full supply, but maintained their price, and were highest at end of sale. F»t lamos were of excellent quality, and alto in good request, the grea.er part bringing iroja 10s to 13s each. Dairy cow* were scarcely so eagerly competed for as for th» last few markets. Female store cattle, young stock, and steers in low condition, were at lower values, but fresh conditioned steers were in fair enquiry. Pigs: Plentiful, but required. • ■ MKSBRB. Hunter and Nolan's Report.—Horses : The number brought forward was scarcely up to the average, which met corresponding demand, there being no noteworthy alteration in value.

Cattle, dairy, and store ntock. nave been moderately plentiful, but more fat beasts would have found purcoaseis at an advance of fully 10s per head on the previous week's rates. • The Newmarket yards on Tuesday were sufficiently supplied with store and dairy stock, and there was a large muster at the monthly Papakura sale on Wednesday, but the number of fat blasts yarded «as scarcely sufficient for requirements; an advance o , ful y 108 to £1 per head on well fatted beasts ; dairy cows in brisk demand at from £6 to £8 10s. Wβ quote : ' Calves, 14s to 20s ; yearlings, 22s to 30s; 18-month old steers, 40s to Sfis ; grown nteers, £3 17s 6d to Hi 5e ; dry cows, 35* to £3.
