The Stock Market.
Messrs Abraham and Williams report: — At Palmerston yesterday cattle were in limited numbers. Beef was below requirements, and sold readily. During the week we had placed some privately at current rates, which may now be quoted at 20s the lOOlbs. Store cattle were more inquired for, and moved off freely at quotations. Sheep were in moderate numbers. Hoggets were a shade easier. Fat sheep sold in vendors' favor. Store wethers are without alteration in value.
