Horse-feed, grain, seeds : There has been no noteworthy change in the market, but some lines of oaten chaff have changed hands at very low rates. Horses: There has been increased activity in the market, and over an average number have changed hands at fully the previous week's values. There was a good muster at the Durham Yards on Friday, and good competition throughout the sale; most of the lota were cleared, and there was a slight Improvement in prices, although value conthmd in favour of the purchaser, which was particularly Noticeable in useful young horses, which sold at price unremunerative to the breeder. We quote hacks at from £5 10s to £14; draughts from £8 to £14 103. Wool, hides, and skins: The quantity pitched at the Durham Yards on - Tuesday, was not large, but there was a brisk demand. We quote ox hides at from Id to 4jd per lb; cow, 2|d to 3Jd; calfskins, 4d to &d per lb; sheepskins, from ta to 3s Cd each. Cattle : The number brought forward has not been large, nor has the demand been brisk, and there was a downward tendency in ■ value. The Newmarket yards were but barely supplied on Tuesday, but an evident indisposition to purchase at the previous week's values was evinced, and prices for dairy stock were unaltered, bat fat beasts receded in value from 5s to 10s per head, and for a few in indifferent condition even a shade lower was given.
