AUCKLAND LIVE STOCK MARKET.
(Reports to March 22.)
[MESSRS. HUNTER AND NOLAN."]
Cattle : A quiet feeling has pervaded the cattle trade this week. The supply has been only moderate, but the quality of dairy and store stock has not been .rood. The fat heasts were tolerably oroocl, but at auction our last week's prices were scarcely sustained, barely averaging 25s per 1001 b. Dairy cows were decidedly of inferior description, and were slow of sale at from £.5 17s 6d to £7 sa ; two-year-old steers, i>3 15s to £4 12$ 6d; working bullocks, .£9 each.
Sheep : With sheep the maiket has been fairly supplied. Sales have progressed slowly at about last week's ■quotations, but the trade being unwilling to buy in heavy stocks, owing to the number to hand and to arrive, transactions were restricted; but the general feeling is that piices will not decline. Lambs are short of requirements, and a large number could have been placed at from 8s to 15s. fcHieep, medium weights, sold at from 19s to 255.
