The welcome rainfall last week has set at rest all fears of further .bought, consequently we have the pleasure of re- ' porting a better tone m the -stock market. At our sale at "Wayerley, all tue lots .were clearedjrat, andJSt . Hill Street, all the cattle were sold, arid the sheep, with the exception of about 200 luinbs. Bidding was fairly brisk at both auc--fcions.""^We "(Janiiot tjhote any increase m gabies, nor do we see how there can be any .improvement, seeing the extremely low ; prices ruling for fat stock. It is some satisfaction to note an improvement m the London uiarket *$ or frozen meat, arid" we are advised of a slight advance m tallovr. 'this, we venture, to hope, will have a beneficial effect on our fat stock market. , . . On Saturday only a limited lot of. in-; ferior horses came for wurd, which was dull of sale all round, good horses sell readily at full values. ••<•.- •; C4ttle. — AtWaverley : Young heifers realised 28s, and calves, 17s.
