Messrs Wright Stephenson and Co. report for the week ending sth April as follows :— Fat Cattle.— .There was a plentiful supply, 201 head being penned. Of this number about one-fourth was of good quality, and for these the demand was brisk, last week's quotations being fully sustained, The balance consisted of cattle little more than half fat, which the butchers manifested but little inclination to purchase, even at a re duction on last week's rates. We quote prime beef at 22s 6d per 1001 b; medium, 18s to 20s. Fat Calves.— Twenty-two penned, and sold at from 21s to 67s 6d. We sold seven. Fat Sheep.— T_ere was a moderate supply, 2402 being penned ; but the trade having heavy stocks on hand, the demand was very slaak, and to effect sales a reduction of at least ls per head on last week's prices had to be submitted to. We quote prime mutton at barely 2Jd per lb. Fat Lambs.— l 49 penned. We sold a draft from Balmoral Farm at lis 9d. Pigs. — About 150 came forward. For grain-fed pork and bacon pigs and well grown stores the demand was good, but suokers were almost unsaleable. We sold 134 as follows :— Bacon pigs, at from 29s to 67s ; porkers, at from 21s to 25s ; stores at from 12a 6d to 23s ; and s ackers, at from 5a to Bs. Store Cattle. — The demand J just now is very dull. We have, however, inquiries for quiet well-grown bullocks suitable for turnip fattening for delivery five or six weeks hence. Store Sheep continue in good enquiry. At the Burnside yards, to-day, we sold 800 crossbred ewes (most full-mouthed and in poor condition), at from 8s to 9s. Privately, during the week, we have sold 6500 sheep as follows :— 3OOO four and six-tooth cross bred ewes, 2000 full-mouthed merino wethers, and 1500 full-mouthed merino ewes. Flock Rama. — We have to report the sale on account of the New Zealand and Aus tralian Land Company (Clydevale) of 107 Lincoln and Leicester rams ; and on account of James Shand, Esq., 32 Leicester rams at satisfactory prices. Horses.— There is a good demand for sound upstanding saddle and light-harness horses, also for first-class young Inferior lots of both descriptions are quite a drug in the market.
