At Papakura on Wednesday ,1 moderate muster of cattle met a steady demand, all yarded being sold at the auction .it prn.c something higher than those obtained at the previous sales. At Remuera on Ihursdaj, cattle were at late values ; store cattle were abundant. Those of good quality in demand, but the greater number were very low in condition, and at low values. Fat cattle were in usual number —lso head yarded, mostly light weights. Prices hardened, and 28s was trcelj given for choice quality. A large muster of well-fatted sheep sustained last week's values, but lambs were lower in price 5s per head ; .best kinds only realising 15s, and inferior, onl> realising 5s each.

At Newmarket, on Tuesday, the yards were well filled. The competition for fat stock was good, for stores stead), but dairy stock was comparatively neglected, and consequently but few were disposed of at nominal prices. Stores fully maintained last week's values, and for sonic fresh steers from the North, a shade higher value was given, but there was no noteworthy alteration in quotations.
