LIVE STOCK MARKETS.

STUD RED POLLS. AXXUAL, SALE AT FEILDIXG. Buyers representative of all parts of the xNorth Island were present at the Feilding saleyai ds yesterday, when the sixth annual sale of stud Red I'oll cattle was held. The demand for bulls was rather disappointing, but this was largely due to the condition and quality of a number of the animals. For females the inquiry was well sustained, and the prices ruling were in accordance with quality. A proportion of the offerings showed type, condition and quality, but many of them could have done with more condition. Taken all round the demand was very good, the cows and heiieis particularly meeting a responsive market.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) TAUMARLXUI, Tuesday The large yarding of sheep, cattle and pigs at the Taumarunui stock sale to-day attracted buyers from Raetihi, Ohuru, Matiere, Waikato and Te Kuiti. and at times there was spirited bidding for sheep and store cattle.
