In the horse market but little business was tr.tnsicted. A well-bred riding-horse brought £32: nn'duim draught mart*, ruling and li^lit harness horses, £$ ifr to 3 kk> c.v li. At the usii.il s.ile, on lue,d.i\, hides m lint lined tlieir rise in price.

At Rcmuorj, <m Ihursd.iy, dmy tattle at their profit were at hijjh \alues— medium anim i's at £w to £11 I'^t-h.^ Voting -tore i .ittle were somethun; lower in pri( c than at Drury, but grown < attU" in forward condition were in free demand. Fat <• ittle were in unusual number, and ,mostl\ ot prime quality. 176 head sold for middling, anil for interior quality prices were low, from 23K the loolbs., but good cattle were rather higher than List week, and ranged from 20s to 30s the loolb^.. Sheep were in full supply, and prime quality better worth. Choice wethers as hfah as -,Jd the lb., and: general prices from 2ld to 3d. Not many pigi* yarded. ,

Messrs Hunter .uid Nolans Wcckljr Rcporn. — Horseb — The ni.irfa.-t lias lacked a< thity, .-uju the number that changed hands has be£n rather* limited. On Friday Io« than the usual numbt-n were submitted by auction at the J^urham Yards, and no really good animals, ofany tlass were disposed of, but medium hacks and light harness horses found puichasers .it about the previous week's yrices. We quote : Hacks at L*> 5s to LT3 10s ; light harness horses trom Ll2 to LiS ; medium draught, L 27 10s. Cattle — The market has beee moderately acthc, but there has been little alteration in \.dues. The number yarded at Newmarket, on l'ue-.daj, w.is start el j; up to the a\ era go, but competition tor all descriptions was steady, and tor really well-fatted oxen, wis brisk. Ihere remains an unsatisfied inquiry for good dairy um>, at their profit. We quotd : Dairy lows from Lrt to Ln 10s; dry tows, L 3 7s 6d to L 5 ; cahps trom J-i 7s 6d to L 2 i^s ; yearlinjls from L; to Lj 12s (3d ; t\\o-\ ear-old steers, \.\ 17s Od to 1.6 ; grown steers from Ls to L 7 ss. Sheop — The siipplj lias been r ither short, but the demand has been 3tead> , tonseuuentl> prices ha\e been sustained. At Xew market, on Tuesday, a limited number wore jarded, competition tvas good throughout the sale, and A shade in ad\ance of the previous Kveek was gueii tor wether*. Pi^s wore moderately plentiful, and were in stvadj Jfinand. Pnt.es tor good porkers were 3d per lb., li\»* weight, while he.ivp weights were a sli ide lower.
