Cattle.—At Waiwakaiho, on Tuesday, there was a small master of stock. Very few grown cattle were yarded, the majority being calves, for Which bidding was quieter than of late, and most of these were passed at the hammer, but were nearly all sold privately afterw.rdr. Forward springing heifers were in good demand, and sold at satisfactory prices, store cows made lower value?. I quote calves LI to LI 9s; yeariings, LI 151 to L2 7s; 18-moaths to 20-months s ears, L 3 10s ;15 to 18-montbs heifers, L2 9s 6d; 2-year do, L 3 15s; forward springers, L 4 to SA 7r 6d; half-bred Jersey, do L 4 15s to L 5; stare cows, L2 10s to L 3 ss; fat do, L 3 17s. Land.—l have to report having negotiated' the sale of Mr J. Wyatt Lee's improved farm' of 500 a"res at Hnirangi, to Mr. John Cox •, head, at at a satisfactory figure, also Mr.' David Knight's Livery Stah'ss and plant at ■ Hawera, to Mr. George Gibson of the same place. ;

j VICKBBS & STEVENS' AUCTION HE- I PORT. j Mksks Vickbbs & STKTBN3 report that owing to the inclemency of the weather there was not a large muster of stock in the Inglewood yards, bnt what was yarded, were all sold at tollowing prices:—Sruall cilve», LI to LI 6s; good calves LI 4s to LI 17s fid; springers, L 4 to Lt 10s; 'a-months to 18 months steers, L36s 6d to L 3 12s; store J cows, L 3 9s Gd; fat cows, 14 5s L4los. They : also report the sals of Mr. J. O'Kceffe's farm) at Tarata, containing 201 acres, to Mr. J. H. J llifsen, of Danevirke. also on account of Mr.' B. Griffiths sections 282 and 292. in the town-. ship of Inglewood, to Mr. A, Turner both at satisfactory figures.

* sales, b buyers, s sellers. Business in investment stocks h>B ten quiet. Nations 1 Backs have advanced to buyers at £3 10s, while Bank of New Zealand shares have slightly receded, borers offering £1 6s. The market generally shows • slight tendency ts fall, and Insurance Companies have been heavily hit by the recent large fires. Auckl and mining is without material change. On the West Coast thrre has been an upward movement in shares on the Nelson Creek, as from advices received by us, the Nel«on Creek dredge has got on to rich gold, and the shares of all companies on the Creek have advanced in consequent. The ground Trhar« the dredge is now working, which ad joums the Pactolns boundary, was not regarded as being by any means the best part of the claim, consequently rich gold having been struck in this part augurs well for tha future of the di-trict. We report sties Kohinoor, Aorere, Victory, New River, and Mosquito Oreek.'
