Messbs B tjnteb _ Nolan's Weekly Report.Horses: —Dulness has again characterised the market. The number suhmitted for disposal by auction on Friday was below the average, and the stamp as a rule was decidedly inferior. There was steady competition for useful animals, and there is an unsatisfied demand for upstanding young horses, but low-condi-tioned, small-sized animals are difficult to place. We quote hacks from £6 to £1115s ; light-harness horses, from £17 to £21 5s each. Cattle :We quote dairy cows from £8 to £10 15s ; yearlings, from £2 to £_ 16s ; weaned calves, from £112s ; 2 and 3-year old steers, from £4 to £6 7s 6d each.
