Oaten hay brought from 3s 6d to 4e per cwt.; barley, 2s 3d per bushel ; horse stock of a good class maintained their values : sturdy draught brought from £27 to £37; medium riding horses, £l2 to £l4 each.

Sheep : lambs skins and pelts were in full number, and brought from 3d to 3|d ; wool in grease brought from 6fd to 7id per lb.
At Remuera, inferior dairy cattle and store cattle were at lower prices, but small sized young cows at their profit, were in good request ; fat cattle in full numbers, 165 head sold at prices slightly lower, about 5s each, than last week; prices varied from 22s to 25s per lOOlbs. Sheep were in short supply, but slow of sale. At the opening of auction, 2fd per lb. was obtained, but prices fell as the sale proceeded to Ifd, with difficulty of selling. Fairly fatted wethers ranged from 9s to 12s each ; lambs were of indifferent quality, but at brisk inquiry at good values.
