COMMERCIAL.
Messrs. Bourke and Smith report that at their sale of cattle, at Makaraka, yesterday, the attendance of buyers was small, and prices realised were not satisfactory to sellers. This is to be accounted for by the fact of there being so little available feed, stock breeders find it as much as they can do to provide grass for what they already have, and are shy of increasing their herds. Dry cows fetched, from 31 5s to 4? ss ; cows, with calves, 31 15s to 4? ; calves, 1? 7s ; two young draught horses were sold at 11/ per head.
