WAIMATE, March 13. The entry of sheep at the St. Andrews sale yesterday was probably a record for the yards. When the sale of fats had begun many lines of sheep were still undrafted, and about 10 lots were held up on the road. The sale of fat lambs and sheep was good, full schedule rates being paid. The store sheep sale dragged, however, with prices not quite up to recent standards. On the whole the quality was not good, many of the sheep showing the effects of travelling. The cattle sale was keen, and prices maintained the standard set by previous sales. Pigs sold with more freedom than has been the case recently. The range of prices was as follows: Fat Ewes—Best 16s 4d to 18s lOd, medium 13s 7d to 14s lid, light 10s 6d to lis lOd; , fat wethers to 255, fat lambs 21s 7d to 23s Id. Store Sheep—Six arid eight-tooth good Romney-Corriedale ewes 26s Bd, two-tooth three-quarterbred ewes 28s to 34s Id, good two-tooth Romney ewes passed at 37s 9d, two and four-tooth Romney ewes 32s 6d, two and three-shear Romney ewes 30s 6d, s.m. three-quarterbred ewes to 23s 6d, j f. and f .m. ewes 15s to 20s 60% rape ewes I to 9s 4d, three-quarterbred ewe lambs 17s 4d to 20s 6d, wether lambs 14s to 17s lOd, j m.s. lambs to 16s lOd, small wether lambs 9s 6d. Fat Cattle—Steers £4 7s 6d to £7 2s 6d. cows £3 12s 6d to £5 17s 6d. heifers to £4 2s 6d, vealers 35s to 57s 6d. Store Cattle—lß-months steers and heifers £2, empty cows to £2. - Pigs—Weaners to 14s, slips to 16s 6d, store pigs to 20s. •■:,-' i ' ;- I LEESTON At the fortnightly stock sale held at Leeston yards yesterday the main feature was a fairly numerous entry of ewes, but with one. or two exceptions they were aged and 'inferior sorts. For the best breeding ewes there was a good demand, top price being paid for a line of twotooths sent in by Mr L. R. Barnett, which realised from 33s 2d to 33s Bd. The others did not meet with.keen competition, and a fair number had to be passed. Fat pigs sold at prices on a par with those obtained at the previous sale. The store pig market opened well, but competition faded out towards the finish, the last two or three pens being difficult to sell. In this connexion the small attendance of farmers, due. to the pressure of harvest work, was a factor. The sheep sales included the following:—2B9 halfbred two-tooth ewes 33s 2d to 33s 6d, 100 five-year ewes 16s sd, 13 fat ewes 14s Bd, 63 ewes 14s, 69 halfbred ewes 15s Id, 145 four-year halfbred ewes 25s 6d, 150 ewes«l4s 9d, 65 one-year ewes 14s. 58 halfbred ewes 16s 6d, 69 halfbred f.m. ewes 13s 9d, 5 Southdown ewes 3gns to 3Jgns. v ''■'.;•, Bacon pigs made 51s 6d to 55s 6d. porkers to 42s Bd, light porkers from 26s 6d,' large stores to 265, medium to 225, small to 17s 6d; weaners to 14s, small weaners from 9s. BLENHEIM The yarding at this week's auction totalled 9057 sheep. The quality of stock entered was satisfactory. . . Fat Sheep—ssb good quality fats were penned, and the 350 ewes included met with a ready demand arid were quitted at a slight advance on last week's rates. Good prime sorts fetched from 17s 9d down to 16s 9d, and mediums to 12s. Wethers were not so much in demand. Several heavy sheep made 235. A pair of heavy lambs brought 26s Bd. Other lots fetched from 22s Id down to 20s 4d. Lighter prime sorts made 18s 3d and 19s Bd. The.big majority in the store section comprised young ewes and forward lambs. Good-conditioned, sound-mouthed ewes fetched from 18s up to 25s 9d, which was paid for an attractive line of 148 crossbred, dther lines of over 100 made 18s 6d to 245; 109 Romney ewes made 19s 3d, good four-tooths 20s 6d and 21s, two, four, and six-tooths 20s Id, and two-tooths 17s 3d and 20s 9d.
