The Stock Market.
Messrs Nolan, Tonks and Co.'s report : On Thursday a good muster of both cattle and sheep came forward. Bidding was fairly brisk for both lines, resulting in almost every thing selling at prices slightly in advance of last week's quotations. On Wednesday last we held a dairy sale on account of Mr H. Knauff. Cows showing well in calf and of good description sold freely. Owing to the heavy fall of snow on Tuesday very few cattle came forward at Eltham, and consequently bidding was very slack. We quote— Fat heifers, £4 ss ; fat cows, £4: 2s to £4 9s ; forward bullocks, £5 12s 6d to £5 15s ; 3 year steers, £4 12s to £i 14a ; yearling steers, 37s to £2 2s ; store cows £2 10s to £2 14s ; 2-year heifers, £2 4s to £2 6a ; yearling heifers, 30 - to 355 ; hand-fed weaners, 22s to 29 6d ; milch cows, £4 10s to £5 ; springers, £3 12s 6d to £4 10s ; milch cows (at Mr. Knauff' s sale) from £3'.105,t0 £8 2s 6d.
