TEMUKA STOCK SALE.

The total yarding of 6heep at Tuesday's stock sale was about 2000 —fat ewes 600, fat wethers 400, fat lambs 500, stores 500. The average quality of tho fat sheep and lambs was not first-class. Ewes were hard to dispose of. The entry of wethers exceeded tho demand, and 176 were passed out of 347. A complete clearance of fat lambs was made.
