FEILDING STOCK SALES.

(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)

FEILDING, Frida

Close upon 20,000 sheep were entered for the Feilding sale to-day. There was a large attendance of buyers. Prices for fatsheep were down by about 2<' per head, while stores were uneven at first and the sale dragged. A.few pens of lambs sold at probably 5/ below last week's values. This was accounted for by the drop in the prices offered by exporters. However, pricps rapidly improved, and by the end of the sale were up to previous rates. The abundance of feed is helping to keep up prices. Fat wethers brought 27,1 to 29. 3; fat ewes, 21/8; black-faced two-tooths, 27/. Stores: Black-faced lambs, 16/9 to 17/2; rape lambs, 20/10; shorn ewe lambs, to 24/3; woolly black-faced lambs, 20/6; aged ewes, 15/; sound-mouthed ewes, 24/; good four and five-year ewes, 30/ to 30/1: fat bullocks, to £12 12/6; fat cows, £10 7/6; fat beefers, £10 10/, about last week's prices.
