Wo sold, on account of other vendors 25 head medium quality at about 22s 6<l per l()0 lbs. i- Fat Slieep. —2334, chiefly good to prime qualiby cross-breds, were penned. The demand was nob 3 quite so active as it has been some weeks past, but all offered changed, hands at fair prices. I. Store Cattle. -The demand for well-grown cattle in forward condition is good, but few of this description are in the market. Any good lots now to come forward will meet with ready - sale, as they are wanted for 1 turfiip feeding. Prices for these are <x shade firmer, but mixed herds are rather difficult of sale. Store Sheep. — For good store cvoss-breds and young merino the demand is active, but comparatively few are offering/and transactions have been quite unimportant. Country Shies.— On ■Thursday, the 11th inst., we solcVab Port. iMolyueux, on account of Mr T. Dreaver, cattle, horses, sheep, &c, which fetched satisfactory prices. On Friday, at Qutram, we offered a lot of cattle, on account of John An dorson, jun., JV|.; and others, the demand, however, was not brisk, and the cattle, being of superior quality, were withdrawn. On Saturday we sold the .Township of Glenledi, at Milton, some 30 sections, at £5 to £15 each. Grain.— Wheat : In this transactions have been quite unimportant, as millers are indisposed to do business at sellers' present quotations. Small lotjs of superior grain have been sold at up to 4.3 7d, delivered at. the mills. Ordinary qualities are very slow of sale at from 4s 3d to 4s sd. Oats have come forward freely dU'lijg the week, and are not sought after for local etfhsumption. Our sales have ranged from £?s 4d to 3s Od for good feed to best milling samples. Barley of prime malting quality is saleable at up to sa. From present appearances we should judge that this grain is likely to be higher, the quantity in the open market being very trifling.
