Mi-ssrs. ituMKK anm> Nor, vx'rt Wkkkli Ki:ronr.— Horses : A good many were brought fonx.ii'J, and the demand was much brisker Hum <>n the previous week, but piiecs continue in favour of inn chaser. Tho Dm ham Y.ikN and weio well tilled witli hordes, there was a largo attendance 1 , tho attraction being a mob overland from I'overty Bay. Competition was busk, and but few of the lots submitted were hold over. We quote : Hack-, fioni £<» t<i £17 10s ; light harness. £7 10s to £L> ; heavy diaughts, fiom £22 to €32. Wool, Hides, and Skins . The second wool sale of the reason was held on Monday. There was an advance of a fai thing per 1b on the rates uiling at the pi o\ ions sale, taking quality into coiisideiation, as several of tho lots were course and bad condition. Prices for gieasy ranged from T^d to 7td per lb : merino, 8d 5-Kiths ; washed, B^d ; hides, fiom 2 f 'd to 3',d ; calf skuib, 4 t d per lb ; skins, fiom 2s ( Jd to 4s (id ; tallow, 2"5s per cwt. Cattle : The .-upply has been rather a large one, the demand Hteady, resulting in no material alteration in price. Tlieie was steady competition throughout the sale and for beasts leally well up iv condition last week's values were given, but medium quality weie a shade lower. There was no notewoithy alteration in the value of dairy cows and store stock.

Pigs : Veiy hhoit supply : good porkeis find sale at 3f,d per lb, live weight. Mr Alkrkd Bucktand's Wki:ki,y Report.—At the Haymarket on Friday but little fodder was brought fonvaid, and tins was dv\U of «?\le. Oats wcie something lower ;2s lOd was the ruling pi ice. Horse stock was abundant, and pi ices lower than for some time. " it Pokeno and Di ury less than the usual numbers of stock were brought forward, but there was a much better enquiry than for some tune, and all l«ts were cleai ed at improved values. At Remuera on Thursday store cattle weie m good demand. Fat cattle abundant, but maintained their \.iluc thioughout. Prices ranged from 21s to 2~>s the lOOlbs. Fat sheep were better worth ; wethers langed from 14s to 17s (id ; ewes, «h to 15-,.
