a sale of dairy stock on Mr Reid's farm, Pahiatua, Owing to the late Joods the proprietor had lost a great ' Wuantity of grass and run short of Teed, therefore the cattle were shown at a great disadvantage, Dining tho early part of the day rain fell in torrents, and there was a limited attendance of the public. The following are the prices realised:— j Cows, £3 2s 6d to £slos, or an average of £4 4s per head; young heifers, £2 lis. On Saturday, Juno loth, I held j my usual fortnightly horse sale at Pahiatua. There was a fair attendance of the public. The quality of the horses was much better than that of last sale, Bidding was fairly good throughout, and I succeeded in selling all the entries except one under the hammer, and ultimately 1 sold that one privately, The following are the prices realised:—Good hacks, £6 to £7 15s; light hacks, £5 10s to £1; boy's pony,. £3 15s; old crooks, no demand.

Tho demand at the Mart during the week has shown a Blight improvement, last week's prices being fully maintained,
