Mr TTenrt Driver (on behalf of the X.Z.L. and M.A. Co.) reports for week e. cling September 13, 1670 :

Fnfc Cattle. —The market was finite glutted by the lam; supply of tOO head being forward, most of which wove of fair to prime quality. This largo supply, toco-her with the fact that the trade had obtained most of their requirements privately during the week, rendered it impossible to clear aii •ifered, cud only about half were sold, the balance being held o?er The excessive supply may bo Recounted for from the fact that in the farming districis the supply of turnips is becoming exhausted, and holders arc obliged to realise. Best bullocks brought up to £l4; do cows, £ll. The prices obtained for those sold may be quoted at 3s 6d to 3s per IdOlbs under last week’s rates. We sold 25 head at the yards, and have placed 30 privately. Fat Sheep.—l,ooo of good quality cross-’breds were penned, and although this ws.s not p.n. excessive supply, the trade, for some reason or other, was disinclined to give late prices, and half of these were also turned out. Best cross-breds realised up to 14s each, or equal to about 2sd to 2Jd per lb. We sold at yards 400.

Si ore Cattle and Sheep.—There is nothing >1 ing in this class of stock.
