LIVE STOCK & PRODUCE MARKETS. PAHIATUA. Mr. J. lorxs reports Sales of stock have been unusually brisk. The abundance of feed with the early spring has caused a great demand for store cattle, and prices have gone up very high for all classes. Beef has been very scarce, this being the most trying month for beef. In sheep, the transactions have been very limited, most holders having tided over the winter, preferring to hold and get the wool. In horses, the market is very uncertain, and sales very limited, those selling being of three classes, namely, good draughts, useful harness, and saddle horses. In produce, things are almost at a standstill, Potatoes are a complete glut in the market. The following are the rates made Beef, bullocks, heavy, £5 17s Cd ; medium, £» 2s Gd; fat cows, heavy, £o ~>s; medium, £4 10s: store bullocks, £4 17s Gil; young steers, f)os to GOs; yearlings, 355; calves, 20s to 2.35: dairy stock.

Shippers are evidently unable to secure a price that would : allow thorn to operate at those lately current here. Millers are doing next to nothing in the oatmeal trade, consequently there is little or no difference in the value of milling and good feed. At the moment tho outlook is not bright, at the same time stocks of really prime oats which would be likely to keep for sometime are within small dimensions, so that these at all events may not recede in value. Quotations : For best feed and milling, is 6Jd to Is 7d; medium to good, Is 6d to Is (id; inferior to medium, Is to Is 4£d (ex store, sacks extra, net cash), #d per bushel more f.o.b. Dunedin.
