MARKETS.
Monthly Report. li H. Nolan & Co., Hawera, report: — Our general sales on 29ili October and 12th November were fairly patronised. Potatoes have been rather a drug in the market. We disposed of a few tons prime Kaiapoi grown Convents at £3 10s per ton. Oats from 4s to 4s 3d. The sale of Otakeho sections advertised for the 26th instant has been withdrawn for the present. Stock : At Thursday’s sale 522 head of cattle were jmrded. A good many more than were entered came forward. Every beast was sold, and with hardly an exception were disposed of at the hammer; what were passed in went off after the sale. The settlement of the native difficulty evidently gave a feeling of security to settlers, and consequently an impetus to stock sales. We quote yearlings from £2 to £3 2s 6d ; 2-year-old steeis and heifers, £3 5s ; 3-ycar-old heifers, £4 7s 6d ; dry cows, £3 12s 6d to £3 17s 6d ; cows and calves, £4 17s 6d ; fat cows, £5 2s 6d to £6 ; 3-year-old steers, £5 7s 6d ; milch cows, £4 to £6 10s. Sheep : A few shorn wethers, light weights, were quitted at 6s 6d. Horses : About 30 entered ; very few changed hands, there seeming to be no demand fur the class offered.
