INVERCARGILL HORSE AND CATTLE MARKET.
Robf.btsox and Co. report — The state of the weather since our tost report has been such as entirely to put a stop to horses being offered for public sale; the business therefore has been entirely confined to private bargains, in which a. considerable business hns been done. The demand, as we stated in our hist tbnt now far exceed the number offering, and prices of a more remunerating character to shippers nrc now readily obtained. In heavy draught horses the market is very bare, and really good ones command high rates. Light draught., although in demand, are not quite so much called for. The market being now nearly thinned out of second class hacks, better price* arc obtained, — in fact, prices for all descriptions arc looking up. We have sold privately heavy dmught £75 to £90, light draught t'so to £05, superior kicks dL'flit to .CM), inferior £"30 to £25. IJrrEEF. — Acclimatised ewes 30s, fat wethers 35s to 40s according to weight. Cattle. — Fat very scarce; first class beef 55s i to 60s per 100 lbs; store worth £11 to £12 10s per head. . <^
