AJJCKLANB LIVE STQGK (Reports to .fane 23.) [MESSRS. HUNTER AND NOLAN.] Cattle.—A moderate supply of dairy and fat stock came forward, but stores were short of requirements. For wellbred dairy cows there has been good demand at "full quotations, but for coarse dry cows prices have on the whole ruled in favor of the buyei\ The stores offered were well competed for, and although the weather has been seveie, there is a greater degree of firmness than has been the case fot sqrne time. The supply of fat beasts was scarcely equal to requirements, but; stocks being short, a brisk demand has existed at fully last quotations, and several orders for top sorts remain un fulfilled. We sold dairy cows, at calving, frqm £lO 5s to .£l2 7s 6d; store cows, M to £5 2s 6d ; two-year-old and one-and-a-half-year-old steers, from .£3 15s to £i 7s 6d; beef, from 23s to 26s per 100 lbs. Sheep: Stocks of provincial are short, and holders looking for higher jates. Shipments since to, fyand not having arrived, our market was sparsely supplied; all that offered met with ready sale at an advance of from Is to 2s per head. Haif-breds sold from 13s to 17s 3d ; merino wethers, well-iktted, from lis to 15s 3d each. Pigs were in better supply, and were well competed for.
