On Tuesday, we held oui usual weekly sale. The supply was an average one and late prices were maintained. Cattle : At the Newmarket yards on Tuesday, the supply of dairy and store stock w.us up to the average, but owing to the holiday mteifering with both steatneis and railway trains, tho supply of fat cattle was small, and consequently prices ruled higher. On Wednesday, at Pukekohe, the yards were well filled, and store stock of all descriptions were m stiong demand. For good steei s, from one to fo'ir years old, there remains an unsatisfied demand. Sheep : The supply on Tuesday was largo, and last week's pi ices fully "sustained. Lambs were scarce, and sold well. Pigs : A large number penned, and demand brisk. Bacon pigs are in request.
