DUNEDIN MARKETS.
At Burnside on Wednesday the supply of fat cattle was very meagre —barely IJO head being yarded, and not more than half of them Were ..what could be regarded as “ tillable.” A very excited sale was the result, extreme prices being the order of the day. Prime bullocks brought from £l2 to £l2 ss, ordinary, from £8 to £9 10s, small from £6 to £7 10s ; prime cows (heavy) from £9 to £ll, ordinary from £7 to £8 10s, aged and inferior from £4 to £6 Is. Store cattle are much wanted. —Fat Sheep.—l7l9 penned, and of these 2G5 were merinos of medium to good quality. The sale for sheep lacked animation and prices, although not quotably lower, with one or two exceptions ruled in favour of the trade. Prime crossbred wethers (medium weights) brought 16s 6d to 17s ; medium 15s to 16s; light, 13s to 14s; crossbred ewes, 12s 6d to 16s 6d; good merino do, 11s to 12s 6d ; medium do, 6s 6d to 9s.
