At Palnr.eraton. — At Palmerston yesterday we had a full yatding of sheep, and a very full entry of cattlo, both classes of stock being largely in excess of advertised numbers. The Bli3ep included a good many peus of prime ewes, which ajet with a poor demand, anJin most cases owners hai to submit to prices considerably below their expectations.
