Messrs Huntkh and Nolans Wekkly Report. — Horsos : There has been but a moderate amount of business done, and prices snowed little alteration.

We quote : Hacks, from £6 to £27 10s ; light liarness horses, from £9 to £16 ; medium draught^ £24. Wool, hides, and skins : There has been a fair supply of hids as regards number, but no first-class ones were brought forward. Prices ranged from .2id to 3&d per lb.; skins, from Is Gd to 2s 6d each. Cattle : There has been an average number of all descriptions yarded. The demand has been steady, consequently there has been little or no noteworthy alteration in value. Scarcely an average number of fat strore beasts were yarded but there was a good many dairy cows. Values weie the same as the previous week. The fat beasts were either shipborne or local, the exception being" a iiruck from Mr Diprose, from Hamilton, which averaged £S 2s Gd, and one from Mr Hansford, from the same place, averaging £7 13s Cd. Sheep : The New Market yards were again well filled. Th/ere was good competition throught the Mile, and prices had rather an upward tendency, and although 23s Od were given for best wethers, they were not uot nearly bo good sheep as on the previous week—obtained a like figure. Ewee said at from 9s 6d to 17s. Pigs were in adequate supply and steady demand, at the previous week's values.
